Season 24
Season 25

The Simpsons was confirmed on October 7, 2011 as being renewed through its 25th season. This occurred as part of the negotiations with the show's main actors over their salaries as a means of keeping the show going. Season 25 will air during the 2013-2014 television season.[1]

As of February 2013, there is no word was to whether this will be the final season. Al Jean, executive producer of The Simpsons, has said he views the two additional seasons as a beginning and that it is a goal to complete thirty seasons by the end of the decade.[2]
