“The Simpsons” will have a new streaming home when Disney+ launches in the fall.
As announced at Disney’s 2019 Investor Day on Thursday, the long-running Fox animated comedy will be exclusively available on streaming as part of the service’s library.
The news was announced in an animated video featuring the show’s characters standing before a large “Welcome Synergy” banner and statues of Bob Iger and Darth Vader, while a framed photo of Fox’s Rupert Murdoch sits in the trash nearby.
Disney+ is set to launch on Nov. 12 at a $6.99/month price point. At launch it will boast a number of Disney-owned titles including properties, like “The Simpsons,” which it acquired as part of its merger with 21st Century Fox earlier this year.
