The Simpsons and Bob’s Burgers are coming back to Fox later this Fall with brand new seasons of episodes, and the two franchises have shared their first look at their big comebacks ahead of their premieres. The Fall TV season is now kicking in this month as many shows that have been off for the Summer start to return with new seasons of episodes after a long wait. And that means it’s also time for a brand new wave of Animation Domination releases with Fox on Sunday evenings. Thankfully, fans won’t be waiting too much longer until these shows make their return.
Later this month, The Simpsons will be returning for Season 27 while Bob’s Burgers will be returning for Season 16. These are the first new seasons releasing as part of a historic renewal for Fox’s adult animated hits. The Simpsons and Bob’s Burgers were both renewed for four more seasons each (alongside Family Guy and a returning American Dad!)and now Fox has geared up for their next premieres with some new Animation Domination key art debuted for the shows that you can check out below.
What to Know for The Simpsons Season 37
The Simpsons Season 37 will be making its premiere with Fox on Sunday, September 28th at 8:00PM ET. The Simpsons has been on a historical run for animation history, and that’s set to continue through to at least Season 40 following this renewal barring any major complications behind the scenes. It’s going to be the longest adult animated series of all time ever released in the United States when this renewal wraps, and Season 37 will also see the series cross over its impressive 800th episode milestone as part of its run too.
“It’s a big deal to do 800 shows, and so we’re going to be doing two brand new original episodes that night,” The Simpsons showrunner Matt Selman teased during the show’s panel at San Diego Comic-Con 2025 earlier this Summer. Teasing that the 800th episode will be airing sometime in early 2026, Selman further teased the milestone as such, “They’re top secret for now, but I promise you, they’ll be the best 800th episode of anything you’ve ever seen.” Guest stars also teased for the new season include the likes of Kieran Culkin, Glenn Howerton, Albert Brooks, Cole Escola, Danny Pudi, Adam Pally, and Brendan and Domhall Gleeson.
What to Know for Bob’s Burgers Season 16
As for Bob’s BurgersSeason 16 of the animated series is also scheduled to premiere on Sunday, September 28th at 9:30PM ET. “It’s lovely to have a four-season pickup, don’t get me wrong, but we’ve been in a very lucky position for a very long time,” Bob’s Burgers series creator Loren Bouchard stated about the series’ major renewal. “We were really sweating it for a while. Any show that’s not a smash hit — and we were not when we started out, I think it’s fair to say — we were on the bubble, and we treated every single moment like it.”
Bob’s Burgers Season 16 is also planning to cross over its own big milestone with Episode 300 premiering too. “In the present day Bob is really sweating whether or not to raise prices, and it’s killing him,” Bouchard teased fans about the milestone episode during San Diego Comic-Con 2025 earlier this Summer. “It sends us on this kind of series of flashbacks to to just what was going on when Bob and Linda started the restaurant.”
