Seven have confirmed that Disney+ had acquired exclusive rights to new episodes of The Simpsons, starting with season 33 which will premiere here on December 1, two months after the US.

Eventually Simpsons will be gone off FTA.

Except repeats which would do decent business you’d think.

I wonder if the same will happen with Family Guy , American Dad and Bob’s Burgers.
I think the first 2 premiere on 7 first , not sure about Bob’s … doesn’t Fox8 show it first?

I’m not so sure.
I’ve read that Foxtel’s contract for The Simpsons and the rest of the animations ends December 2022 and that Disney will not renew it.
With that in mind I’m sure they’ll also strip Seven of the programs too. Especially when The Simpsons only airs 4 episodes a week on 7Flix at 7pm.
It’s become clear Disney want all their content on Disney Plus only. It’s only a matter of time where you’ll only be able to see Disney and Fox content on Disney Plus.

Seven’s reign of terror is over.
I’d be very surprised if that was the business plan. Disney would go broke.

Of course it’s the plan.
There’s hardly anything on FTA from Disney anymore.
You won’t see any of the Santa Clause movies this year on FTA for example.

That’s really interesting to hear. I wonder if this could be part of the reason FOX8 has really cut back on their animation content over recent months, and has become the Police Ten 7, Highway Patrol, and Border Security channel of late, and really cutting back on the animated shows it was once known for.

You see HEAPS of Bobs Burgers syndicated these days instead of The Simpsons too, being still owned by Fox and not Disney, makes a lot of sense. Expect that to be become the new Simpsons for repeats.

The Simpsons on FTA: 1991-2021.

New Bob’s Burgers is already on Disney+ weekly.
American Dad and Family Guy appeared on Disney a week after 7 so I assume new episodes will go to Disney also as 7 have abandoned premier timeslots for them off 7 mate

Advantage of Disney+ is that you can have Simpsons on at 6PM every night now!

I guess this why Seven didn’t fast track the current season - they hadn’t acquired the rights.

Just in regards to The Simpsons season 33 debuting tomorrow, I’m assuming they’ll drop season 32 also?

My bet is that once the contract for animations comes around, Disney will not renew it and the animation repeats will all go off FTA.
I think so.

Hopefully the only two of FOX’s animated series not on Disney+ (King of the Hill and The Great North) will pop up on there soon!
