Simpsons Game is Back if You Believe Matt Groening
Since Disney acquired 20th Century Fox in 2019, the animated world of The Simpsons has found a permanent home on Disney+. Every episode has been available to viewers, but for many years, the massive cultural phenomenon has largely remained static under the Disney umbrella.
Despite the accessibility of the show, observers have noted that while the episodes themselves are streaming, Disney has seemingly done little beyond the basic distribution. The property, which remains a colossal force in popular culture, felt like an asset that was passively managed rather than actively leveraged across its vast multimedia potential.
That status quo appears poised for a dramatic shift. Recent revelations shared during the The Simpsons panel at the D23 Expo have signaled that Disney’s approach to managing this beloved franchise is about to evolve significantly.
These discussions point toward a major reevaluation of how the studio plans to interact with and develop one of television’s most enduring comedic legacies. The focus now shifts from simply streaming content to actively engaging with the full scope of what The Simpsons represents.
