Disney+ has launched a 24/7 livestream channel dedicated to The Simpsons, available to Premium subscribers starting today.
The livestream channel, or Stream as it’s called on Disney+, will air 767 episodes of The Simpsons throughout the first 35 seasons in chronological order. That’s equivalent of over 300 hours’ worth of content featuring the misadventures of Bart, Lisa, Homer, Marge, Maggie, and all their friends and family throughout Springfield to satisfy your appetite. That includes holiday episodes, even Christmas ones, but does not include the 36th season of the show, which is streaming on Hulu. Gabe Lewis, SVP of Programming and Content Curation for Disney+, said that fans of the long-running animated sitcom have been asking for The Simpsons livestream channel since Disney launched the streaming service in 2019.
“From day one, the fans have asked for a Stream of The Simpsons, and we’re happy to oblige,” Lewis said in a press release. “Streams on Disney+ have been a fantastic go-to experience for subscribers looking to sit back and relax with their favorite shows and movies, and we look forward to evolving the user experience and expanding the offering with more Streams, to more subscribers, later this year.”

Matt Selman, the showrunner for The Simpsons, added, “The Simpsons Stream will deliver a Simpsons marathon all day, every day — no matter when you tune in, this ultimate Simpsons binge will be there.”
The Simpsons Stream channel on Disney+ is reminiscent of the “Every. Simpsons. Ever.” marathon that aired on FXX in the summer of 2014. It ran for 12 days straight and aired 552 episodes, plus The Simpsons Movie, allowing viewers to binge on the show no matter where they tuned in — at home, in the break room at work, in their hotel room on vacation, and even at the gym while running on the treadmill (provided their gyms TVs were dialed to FXX). The marathon broke the Guinness World Record for the longest consecutive TV marathon ever (not counting commercial breaks, of course). This time around, instead of running The Simpsons marathon for a set amount of time, Disney+ is doing the marathon forever, providing a cure for people suffering from choice paralysis over choosing any individual episode of the show already streaming on the service.
China just gave Hollywood a cautionary tale about AI filmmaking. Sanxingdui: Future Past, billed as the country's first fully AI-generated movie, hit theaters on October 23 and bombed at the box office.
According to Futurism, the film's reported $1.5 million production budget landed on more than 10,000 screens. Yet it pulled in only about $181,000, averaging roughly $20 per screen, making the budget difficult to recover.
Some of the best shots in Grok Imagine’s AI-made Odyssey don’t contain actors. Ancient landscapes stretch into the distance. Close-ups of grimy hands suggest people who have touched something rougher than a keyboard. For a few seconds, the illusion holds.

YouTube videos could soon look better without eating quite so much data, right? Thankfully, the platform plans to introduce a new video format called AV2 on its web player in early 2027, promising more efficient streaming and potentially fewer playback hiccups on slower internet connections. The big headline is a roughly 30% improvement in compression efficiency over AV1, YouTube's existing video format. That doesn't guarantee every video will use 30% less data, but it could make streaming a little easier on both internet connections and data allowances.
What is AV2, and why should viewers care?
