Disney+ UK will have The Simpsons after all, over 600 episodes confirmed

Disney has confirmed that over 600 episodes of The Simpsons will be hosted on Disney+ in the UK.

Previous reports had suggested that, unlike the US version of the streaming platform, The Simpsons would not be part of the package as it is still tied up in a deal with Sky in the UK.

However, considering the two brands signed a deal recently to bring Disney+ to Sky Q and Now TV, it seems they have also agreed a compromise over The Simpsons too.

The news was revealed in a tweet by the Disney+ UK account, but we don't yet have any further details. We guess that Sky will continue to show new episodes and the streaming service will offer archive shows, but have contacted Disney+ to find out for sure.

It's certainly great news either way, as many fans seemed to be upset by former reports that Disney+ would launch without Homer, Bart and the gang.

Disney+ will be available from 24 March in the UK and Central Europe.

A subscription pre-order deal is currently live giving you a whole year's worth of the new service for just £49.99, as long as you sign up before 23 March 2020.
