The Simpsons will extend its run as the longest-running primetime scripted series in television history after being renewed for seasons 35 and 36. Matt Groening’s iconic series originally premiered in 1989 and left a permanent mark on popular culture, winning 35 Primetime Emmy Awards along the way.

The Simpsons isn’t Fox’s only animated classic to receive a renewal through 2024-2025. Family Guy will return for its 22nd and 23rd seasons, while Bob’s Burgers was renewed for seasons 14 and 15. Their two-season renewals don’t come as a shocker because they’re valuable streaming assets for Disney following the studio’s acquisition of 20th Century Fox.

Michael Thorn, president of scripted programming for Fox Entertainment, announced their renewal in an official statement and said it’s their way of celebrating excellence in animation on Fox.

“Three-plus decades of The Simpsons, more than two decades of Family Guy, and over a decade of Bob’s Burgers proves the enduring power of the animation genre on our network and the infinite fan affinity for these outrageously funny comedy classics,” said Thorn.

Henry was the voice behind the black character since the show’s beginning in 1999. He walked away from the part saying that “persons of color should play characters of color.” Following Henry’s departure, Zahir put himself forward as a candidate to fill the part in a TikTok video. “So apparently the voice actor for Cleveland Brown stepped down today,” he said in the video using the character’s iconic laugh. “Wow! I wonder who could do the job. I seriously have zero idea.”

In his statement upon hearing he did indeed get the job, Zahir said: “To Mike, you created something truly special and I promise I will do my absolute best to honor your legacy. To Rich Appel, Alec Sulkin and Seth MacFarlane thank you for this incredible gift. And to the millions of fans who love this show, I promise not to let you down.”

Henry also issued a statement congratulating zahir. “Arif’s vocal talent is obvious, but his understanding of Cleveland and his respect for the character give me confidence that he is in the right hands.”

Charlie Collier, CEO of Fox Entertainment, described these shows as “the heavyweights of the genre” and said he can’t imagine a better home for them than Fox.

“If you’re an animator, there is no better place to showcase your work than Sunday nights on Fox. This is the network that set the standard for primetime animation,” said Collier during the Television Critics Association’s winter press tour, and added they’re looking for the next generation of culture-defining animated comedies to join their ranks.

Shortly before announcing they’re bringing Family Guy and Bob’s Burgers back for another season, Fox executives renewed The Simpsons for additional two seasons. These tree shows are a staple of network’s animated programming and they’re consistently bringing in a lot of revenue, through good ratings, lucrative streaming and merchandising deals.

Family Guy combined a mix of lighthearted and somber lines, explaining how Angela (Carrie’s character) died while also paying tribute to the type of person she was. Peter Griffin (actor Seth MacFarlane) led the tribute, quoting the Friends theme song and the Mary Tyler Moore Show theme songs among many others.

Peter described Angela’s cause of death as swimming less than 20 minutes after eating. Then, the star character got into a serious mode, describing Angela as though he was talking directly about Fisher.

“That was Angela—fearless, spontaneous, honest about herself just as much as she was about the world around her,” Griffin said. “She had grace, courage and an unmated zest for life. She may be gone, but her voice will live on in DVD and Hulu Plus and tiny droid-projected messages. I may have lost a boss, but heaven has gained a princess.”

Angela was Peter’s boss in the movie. Her cause of death in real life was cardiac arrest, in late December 2016.
