The Simpsons brought its thirty-seventh season to an end earlier this February, giving animation enthusiasts a shorter season that ultimately released fifteen episodes in total. Luckily, as Springfield fans wait for season thirty-eight to arrive, Disney is planning to unleash three new episodes this summer, with one of the installments planning to be double the size of normal installments. Unfortunately, the upcoming release might not be what everyone was expecting, as there is only going to be one way to check out the three wild episodes in June, July, and August, respectively.
Rather than airing this trio of episodes on Fox, as was the case with season thirty-seven, these three installments will be exclusive to Disney+, which might be a drag for those who aren’t subscribers to the streaming service. Releasing original content from the beloved animated series exclusively on the platform is nothing new, as The Simpsons has done so in recent years with various shorts and specials. Alongside the confirmation of these episodes, Disney+ has released a new trailer for the episodes that are looking to remake Homer Simpson in some wild new ways. One of the biggest features Homer apparently parodying The Joker, sporting clown make-up in a tale that’s sure to bend some brains. You can check out the new trailer below.

A defective lamp reveals a heartbreaking truth about what Homer believes is reality, and an AI-powered tablet befriends and controls Maggie. The Simpsons struggle to find the light through two dark tales of the curious and bizarre in this Disney+ exclusive.
As of yet, The Simpsons hasn’t revealed when we can expect season thirty-eight to arrive, though the longest-running animated series in America has already been confirmed for forty seasons at least.
