Season 25 is the current season of The Simpsons that is set to air from September 29, 2013 to May 18, 2014[1]. Shortly before the season's second episode, the show was renewed for a twenty-sixth season.[2]. The first table read for the season was on March 7, 2013.[3] This season premiered on September 29, 2013 with the episode "Homerland" and will finish on May 18, 2014[1]

Episodes

Picture # Original title Original airdate Directed by Written by Prod. code
Homerland poster.png 531 - 1 "Homerland" September 29, 2013 Bob Anderson Stephanie Gillis RABF20
Homer starts to act strangely polite after returning from a nuclear power plant convention, prompting a suspicious Lisa to ask an intense FBI agent to help her solve this mystery.

Guest starring Kristen Wiig as Annie Crawford and Kevin Michael Richardson as an FBI agent.

Treehouse of Horror XXIV title card.png 532 - 2 "Treehouse of Horror XXIV" October 6, 2013 Rob Oliver Jeff Westbrook[4] RABF16[4]
The “Treehouse Of Horror XXIV” episode dives into three tales – “Oh The Places You’ll D’oh,” “Dead and Shoulders,” and “Freaks no Geeks.”

“Oh The Places You’ll D’oh”

“Oh The Places You’ll D’oh” is a spin on a “rhyming Dr. Seuss-ian tale.” But instead of “The Cat in The Hat,” Homer plays “The Fat in The Hat” and wreaks havoc on the poor town of Springfield.

“Dead and Shoulders”

“Dead and Shoulders” certainly isn’t a spin on the hair product “Head & Shoulders.” In this “spine-tingling” tale, Bart is involved in a horrifying kite accident … that leaves him beheaded. But Bart isn’t dead and gone. Instead his head is attached to Lisa’s body and the two siblings “must live together as one.”

“Freaks no Geeks”

The circus is coming to town in this “Treehouse of Horror XXIV” story. Set in Springfieldland in the 1930s, the Burnsum and Bailey Circus (Mr. Burns’ traveling circus) has stopped into town. Starring trapeze artist Marge and Strong Man Homer, the circus is anything but a joyous event when “circus freak Moe starts to make advances towards Marge.”
