Homer Simpson isn’t getting off his couch any time soon.
“The Simpsons” has been renewed for two more seasons, its 33rd and 34th, Fox announced Wednesday.
“Everyone at ‘The Simpsons’ is thrilled to be renewed once more, and we are planning lots of big surprises,” creator Matt Groenig teased in a statement. “Homer will lose a hair, Milhouse will get contact lenses, and Bart will celebrate his tenth birthday for the thirty-third time.”
Already the longest-running prime-time scripted series in history, the animated comedy, which premiered in 1990, will remain on the air until at least 2023, with 757 episodes.
“As they say, ‘practice makes perfect,’” Fox Entertainment CEO Charlie Collier said in a statement.
Dan Castellaneta, Julie Kavner, Nancy Cartwright, Yeardley Smith, Hank Azaria and Harry Shearer will all return in their iconic voice roles around Springfield. Kevin Richardson recently joined the cast to voice Dr. Hibbert, taking over for Shearer after criticism about white actors playing nonwhite characters.
