Bell Media has secured a deal with Disney Entertainment to broadcast the Québécois French version of “The Simpsons,” saving the series from being discontinued. Season 36 of “Les Simpson” will be shown on Bell Media’s Noovo television channel and streamed on Crave starting this fall.
Last year, Corus Entertainment’s decision not to renew the broadcast rights sparked outrage among fans, forcing francophone viewers to watch new seasons in European French. An online petition was launched, gathering thousands of signatures to preserve the Québécois dubbing, known for incorporating local elements like place names, politicians, current events, and popular expressions.
The Québécois versions of the show are typically one season behind the American release, with season 37 already underway in the US. Fans can enjoy seasons one to 35 in Québécois French on Disney+. In a social media video, Bart and Lisa Simpson excitedly announce the return of the beloved Québécois dubbing, much to the delight of local audiences.
