The big question many fans are asking in the wake of “The Simpsons” 20th anniversary special and the series’ 450th episode Sunday evening is–how much longer will the show run?
“We have it for two more seasons and then we’ll sit down and see where we are,” says Fox president Kevin Reilly. “The show is extraordinary. We just celebrated twenty years. I’m certainly not gunning for it. It’s still creatively vibrant. The show is up again this season. It’s just just mind-blowing the breadth of creativity that’s still coming out of that camp.”
And what would come next for Fox’s animated entertainment? Possibly another series by “Family Guy” creator Seth McFarlane.
“He’s stretched thin,” admits Reilly. “We’ve got one other show we’re contemplating with Seth and looking to broaden our animation brand out too. I love working with the guy, but our plan is not all Seth, all the time. He has something up his sleeve that’s animated, so we’re going to continue to be in business with him for quite a few years and I think you’ll see us to broaden out that brand a little bit.”
They should do a whole season of nothing but new Treehouse of Horror episodes.
you must be forgetting that about 8.5 of the last 10 years of THOH have been awful
