Resolution criteria:

This market will resolve to "Yes" if The Simpsons airs its 1,000th episode before the series concludes. If the series ends without reaching 1,000 episodes, the market will resolve to "No." The series is considered concluded if there is an official announcement from Fox or the show's producers stating that no further episodes will be produced.

Background:

As of April 2025, The Simpsons has aired 787 episodes over 36 seasons. (en.wikipedia.org) On April 2, 2025, Fox announced a renewal of the series for four additional seasons, extending it through its 40th season. Each of these upcoming seasons is slated to consist of 15 episodes, totalling 60 new episodes. (reuters.com)

Considerations:

• Episode Count Projection: With the current count of 787 episodes and 60 additional episodes confirmed, the series is projected to reach 847 episodes by the end of the 40th season. This falls 153 episodes short of the 1,000-episode milestone.

• Future Renewals: Achieving 1,000 episodes would require further renewals beyond the 40th season. The series has a history of multiple renewals, but future extensions are subject to network decisions and audience reception.

• Production Factors: The production of additional seasons depends on various factors, including viewership ratings, contractual agreements with cast and crew, and the creative direction of the show.

Traders should monitor official announcements from Fox and the show's producers regarding future renewals and episode counts to inform their predictions.
