List of episodes

The thirtieth season of the animated television series The Simpsons premiered on Fox in the United States on September 30, 2018.[1][2] Al Jean returns as showrunner, a position he has held since the thirteenth season. Matt Selman also contributed as showrunner for the episodes "Heartbreak Hotel", "Krusty the Clown" and "The Clown Stays in the Picture". The series hit a milestone 650th episode on January 6th, 2019 with the episode "Mad About the Toy".

The season features guest appearances from Dave Attel, Emily Deschanel, Gal Gadot, Jonathan Groff, Pete Holmes, Rhys Darby, Tracy Morgan, RuPaul, Bryan Batt, Lawrence O'Donnell, Patti LuPone, Marc Maron and Wallace Shawn. Longtime recurring guest star Jon Lovitz also returns several times in various roles, while the episode "Heartbreak Hotel" saw George Segal reprising the role of Nick from Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? that he'd originally played 52 years earlier. The five main cast members of Bob's Burgers also reprised their roles for a crossover couch gag in the episode "My Way or the Highway to Heaven".

In February 2019, writer Stephanie Gillis won the 2019 Writer's Guild Award for Animation for penning the season premiere episode "Bart's Not Dead". This season also features the first episode written by voice actor Nancy Cartwright with the episode "Girl's in the Band", making her the third of the six main cast members to have an episode to their name (Dan Castellaneta having penned many scripts since season 11 and Harry Shearer writing the season 28 episode "Trust But Clarify"). This also makes her the first female main cast member credited with a writing credit.
