Disney+ is doubling down on donuts, Duffs and d’ohs.
The streamer has added a stream called “HOMERPALOOZA!” to its offerings this week — a limited-time, round-the-clock feed featuring 200 episodes dedicated solely to everyone’s favorite Springfield patriarch. The episodes will be available to stream on their “Simpsons” 24/7 always-on channel. The curated selection celebrates Homer Simpson’s most iconic scenes and episodes, spanning over 80 hours throughout the show’s 35-season run.
“In the history of television, is there a funnier 80 hours than the top 200 Homer episodes of ‘The Simpsons?’ (DRAMATIC PAUSE) No,” Simpsons executive producer and showrunner Matt Selman wrote in a statement.
The “HOMERPALOOZA!” stream joins the dedicated Simpsons hub on Disney+, which also includes “The Simpsons Movie” and more than 10 original shorts starring the iconic yellow family. The permanent 24/7 Simpsons channel, launched earlier this year, offers all 35 seasons in chronological order for nonstop viewing.
The move is part of Disney+’s broader push into “Streams” — curated, genre- or theme-based channels designed to mimic the passive viewing experience of linear TV. Other stream channels for Premium subscribers include “Throwbacks,” spotlighting nostalgic animated series; “Descendants and Zombies,” featuring content from both teen musical franchises; and “SharkFest,” with high-octane shark programming. Additionally, all subscribers can access the ABC News stream and Disney+ Playtime, geared toward younger audiences.
The best deal on Disney+ is through the Disney+ Hulu bundle, which gets you both streamers for only $10.99/month — the same price for a standalone Disney+ subscription. Sign up the Disney+ Hulu bundle here.
