The Simpsons is saved; at least two more seasons in the works

Well, that was close! The cast members of The Simpsons have agreed to new pay deals that will see production of the show continue for at least two more years.

According to Deadline, the cast accepted an approximate salary reduction of 30% (less than the 45% 20th Century Fox Television were demanding). In exchange for Fox’s concession, the cast dropped their demand for the series’ back-end profits.

This new deal will take The Simpsons to a 25th season.

Discuss: But will they call it a day when the show hits the quarter-century mark?
