Fans of the animated series have been waiting patiently for new instalments after the series initially premiered in the US last year.

Of course, there are plenty of older episodes to binge-watch and rediscover, with The Simpsons having first aired 35 years ago on 17th December 1989.

Since then, The Simpsons has earned the title of the longest-running animated comedy in the US.

Rather excitingly, Disney Plus have also announced that they'll be adding a 24/7 stream, with 767 episodes across seasons 1-35 programmed to watch in chronological order. That means that fans can enjoy nearly 300 continuous hours with the Simpsons family.
