Disney+: Schedule Status & Listings 13th to 31st January 2025 |
Disney+ is the new home to new episodes of The Simpsons in the UK and Ireland. Season 36 premieres on the streaming service early next year, and is expected to be released at a rate of one episode per week. In advance of that, "O C'mon All Ye Faithful", a Disney+ exclusive double-length episode, is now available (a transatlantic streaming exclusive, it's being released the same day both here and in the USA). |
AVAILABLE NOW S1-S35 in full, excluding "Stark Raving Dad" AVAILABLE NOW S36 *NEW* - O C'mon All Ye Faithful TBC FEB S36 *NEW* - Bart's BirthdayFor more information on the episodes, see the Episode Guide.

Channel 4 & E4: Schedule Status & Listings 13th to 31st January 2025 |
E4 are currently airing the show on weekdays at 4pm, 5:30pm, 6:30pm, 8pm and 8:30, with a late-night episode or two at varying times almost every day, also. Yes, weekdays are absolutely packed on E4 - they're clearly making the most of their investment in the show! We get seasons 23 and 17 in the 4pm hour, season 11 in the 6:30pm slot, season 23 then 29 in the 8pm hour, and various seasons overnight. It's good news on weekends too: we get a handful of episodes from season 11 on Sunday teatime, and even better, the terrestrial premiere of season 32 has kicked off. E4 are airing that season in double-bills on Sundays from 8pm, with repeats on the subsequent Thursdays and Fridays at 7pm (those are in addition to all of the slots mentioned above). Friend of the page Christopher Wickham has some preview commentary on what E4 may or may not cut from their broadcasts. What's even more exciting is that, as confirmed in a press release, E4 will be the home of the show's linear, broadcast premieres in the UK moving forward, inheriting Sky's mantle. From season 36, Disney+ will be premiering the show in the UK and Ireland, with E4 then broadcasting the season later in the year. What of seasons 33 to 35, which Sky have premiered and C4 have not yet inherited the rights to? I feel certain they will eventually show up on E4, but presumably Sky's legacy contract will determine when that will eventually be. The show also remains on Channel 4 during weekend daytimes, with the usual hodgepodge of episodes on Saturday and Sunday mornings, and Sunday lunchtimes. There's the occasional overnight slot, too. They're currently airing season 7. Episodes starting between midnight and 5am are listed as part of the previous day's schedule, similar to most print TV guides. Note that all episodes are simulcast on Channel 4 HD or E4 HD and can be viewed one hour later on their timeshift services, Channel 4 +1 and E4 +1. |

RTÉ2: Schedule Status & Listings 13th to 31st January 2025 |
RTÉ2 are currently airing season 26 in the usual 4:30pm weekday slot, with selections from season 29 following, and season 31 occasionally showing up in a Friday 6pm bonus slot. Excitingly, however, the Irish free-to-air premiere of season 32 takes over the daily 4:30pm slot from Monday 27th! After experimenting with a weekly slot for new episodes last time around, RTE are back to a five-premieres-a-week system. There's nothing currently on weekends, and, as usual, some episodes are skipped due to content concerns. |

Sky Showcase are currently broadcasting four episodes a weeknight, from 5pm to 6pm and then 7pm to 8pm. (The US Office occupies the 6pm hour.) Weekends remain less predictable, typically home to six or more episodes throughout the day. Currently airing: season 15, in two concurrent runs - generally, that's one run in the 5pm, 7pm or 7:30pm weekday slots, and a repeat either in a 5:30pm weekday slot, or on a weekend. Following that is season 21, then season 27. As discussed above, premieres of the show in the UK and Ireland will now take place on Disney+, followed later by E4. So we won't be getting season 36 on Sky anytime soon. It's hard to know what Sky's long-term strategy will be with the show now, once the jewel in Sky One's crown. It seems they do at least retain repeat rights for now, as January's schedules are as packed with the show as ever. We'll see if it basically remains situation as normal, sans new episodes; or whether the number of broadcasts takes a hit as the show becomes less of a feature in Sky Showcase's overall strategy. I'll keep on top of things throughout the year. As always, some episodes deemed unsuitable for daytime broadcast are skipped, and some episodes don't get a second run depending on Sky's weekend schedule. Episodes starting between midnight and 5am are listed as part of the previous day's schedule, similar to most print TV guides. |
