Disney+: Schedule Status & Listings 17th February to 7th March 2025 |
Disney+ is the new home to new episodes of The Simpsons in the UK and Ireland. Season 36 premieres on the streaming service soon, and is expected to be released at a rate of one episode per week. In advance of that, "The Past and the Furious", a Disney+ exclusive episode, was released this past week (a transatlantic streaming exclusive, it became available on the same day both here and in the USA). If you missed, Disney+'s first full-length exclusive episode, "O C'mon All Ye Faithful", is still available to watch (double-length, too!) |
AVAILABLE NOW S1-S35 in full, excluding "Stark Raving Dad" AVAILABLE NOW S36 *NEW* - O C'mon All Ye Faithful AVAILABLE NOW S36 *NEW* - The Past and the Furious TBC S36 *NEW* - Bart's BirthdayFor more information on the episodes, see the Episode Guide.

Channel 4 & E4: Schedule Status & Listings 17th February to 7th March 2025 |
E4 are currently airing the show on weekdays at 4pm, 4:30pm, 6:30pm, 8pm and 8:30pm. We get season 26 then 14 in the 4pm hour, season 20 then 8 (the latter returning to terrestrial after some time with Sky) in the 6:30pm slot, and season 26 then 14 then 11 in the 8pm hour. 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 continues. 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 commentary on what E4 may or may not be cutting 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 a good number of overnight slots there, too, occasionally bleeding right through to the early morning. They're currently mostly airing season 6, though other seasons occasionally appear too. 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 17th February to 7th March 2025 |
RTÉ2 are currently home to the Irish free-to-air premiere of season 32! After experimenting with a weekly slot for new episodes last time around, RTE are back to a five-premieres-a-week system; it's airing in the usual 4:30pm weekday slot. Once that run wraps up, season 29 follows. Additionally, occasional bonuses from season 29 appear on Wednesday and Friday at 6pm. 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 34, 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 22. 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; but there's no shortage of repeat broadcasts in the short term, clearly. 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. |
