Channel 4 has secured a new deal with Disney that will see The Simpsons move to E4 next month.
The much-loved animated sitcom moved to the broadcaster from the BBC in 2004 and has occupied a regular teatime slot in the two decades since, but as of January it will move to weekdays and weeknights on E4.
As part of the deal Disney+ will remain the UK home for new episodes of the show, with season 36 being released in the spring and subsequently going out on E4.
"The Simpsons and Channel 4 have a historic relationship, and I'm delighted that we will continue to bring this much loved and iconic series to our audience," said Polly Scates, Channel 4's head of acquisitions.
"In an evolving market, collaboration has never felt more important, and it's been a pleasure working with Disney Entertainment to bring the latest seasons to UK viewers, who can now watch the show on E4 and C4 Streaming once it has aired on Disney +."
The future of The Simpsons on Sky, where it airs on Sky Showcase, is currently unclear.
