FXX to Air Every ‘Simpsons’ Episode Ever (Plus the Movie) in Epic12-Day Marathon

Last November it was announced that The Simpsons were finally coming to basic cable after the Fox Broadcasting Company sold exclusive syndication rights to fellow 21st Century Fox subsidiary FXX. That was pretty good news for fans of the longest running scripted television show of all time.

However, today the news gets even better. Starting August 21 at 10 A.M. ET, FXX will show every single episode, plus the movie, one after the other in chronological order. The whole thing will take 12 days to run, ending September 1 at 12 A.M., and it will be the longest marathon in television history.

That's not the end of the good news, though. In addition to the marathon, FXX will launch their Simpsons World app in October. In addition to letting you stream full episodes, this app will also let you search episodes by character or clip, flip back and forth between the video and the script, and, of course, share your favorite quotes on social media. (Because everyone needs to know what you are doing, saying, and thinking at all times, amiright?)

So upgrade your mobile data plans and call your cable or satellite provider and order a few more DVRs. The Simpsons are coming.
