Springfield’s most famous family is returning to free-to-air television. Neox will premiere on Monday, November 16, at 1:30 PM, the 37th season of ‘The Simpsons’, with 15 new episodes for digital terrestrial television (DTT) in Spain. The Atresmedia channel announced it on November 10 with a clear message: “more stories, more laughter, more Simpsons.”
It’s a classic-flavored appointment for those who grew up watching the show during the daytime open-air TV slot, and it’s good news for anyone without Disney+ who wants to follow the new adventures of Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie.
Date and time of The Simpsons Season 37 on Neox
- Channel: Neox.
- Premiere: Monday, November 16.
- Time: 1:30 PM.
- Episodes: 15.
Season 37 premiered in the United States in December 2025, so Neox is now airing in Spain episodes that have already been shown in the country of origin. In its announcement, the channel speaks of premiere episodes “starting on Monday” and does not detail the broadcast calendar for the following installments.
What to expect in the new The Simpsons episodes
Neox has previewed several storylines that will unfold in this batch of episodes:
- Bart, running for student council president. He will face an unexpected electoral battle at school.
- The secrets of the Quimby family. Lisa will uncover some secrets related to the Springfield mayor’s family.
- Lisa and the concert of her favorite band. She’ll try to snag tickets, but her plans will be thwarted when a mysterious buyer buys them all up.
- Homer, legally dead. Bart and his aunt Patty will join forces to execute one of their most surprising pranks: getting him declared legally dead. What no one expects is that Homer will relish his new status.Skinner and a runaway child. The principal will discover a child has taken refuge at the school and decide to welcome him into his own home.
Neox adds that these are just a few of the stories in a season that, according to the channel, shows that the Simpsons “still have a lot to tell” after so many years.
Where to watch The Simpsons in Spain
Fans of the series in Spain can watch The Simpsons in two places: on Neox, with the free-to-air broadcast starting on November 16, and on Disney+, where it is available to subscribers of the platform.
A well-regarded season
Season 37 has earned an average rating of 6.8 on IMDb, a score not seen for the show since season 21 in 2009. It’s a striking figure for a series that, since its 1989 inception, has weathered nearly every debate imaginable about its quality.
Why the couch gag appears less frequently
Returning to the series after a break, you might miss the classic couch gag. The showrunner, Matt Selman, explained on the podcast “Four Finger Discount” why it appears less and less: he would like to have a bigger budget to include an elaborate version in every episode, but the team prefers to invest first in the main story.
“If I had infinite money, I’d include the couch gag in every episode that goes to streaming,” Selman said, making clear that they don’t want to cut plots or pacing just to accommodate that opening.
Meanwhile in the United States: Season 38
Neox’s broadcast arrives with a lag compared to the United States, where Fox is already airing Season 38. There, Apu returned to speak again on October 18, in the episode “The Revengening,” after nearly a decade without lines and with Sunil Malhotra as the new voice, as we noted in this article about Apu’s return. Those episodes belong to the next season and are not part of the 15 that are arriving now on Neox.
A series with a secured future
“The Simpsons” began as a series of shorts in 1987 on The Tracey Ullman Show, and Matt Groening decided in 1989 to turn it into a full-fledged series about Homer and his family. Today it stands as one of television’s longest-running fictions: it has reached 800 episodes and is renewed at least through 2029, the year in which the season 40 would end.
In remarks to TheWrap, Selman stated that the show “will never have an ending” and that, if it ever stops airing, there wouldn’t be a solemn farewell but “an ordinary episode” with the family. We’ve already discussed how Bart’s voice actor envisions season 40 as a potential horizon, though without confirming that it would be the finale.
