The Simpson family will star in a new series of video games, Twentieth Century Fox Television and Gracie Films announced this week.

The companies signed a long-term agreement with Electronic Arts that will give the video game maker exclusive rights to upcoming Simpsons games.

Details of the agreement were not released.

“I think this is a great opportunity for us, primarily because it brings with it the possibility of free EA games,” said The Simpsons executive producer James L. Brooks.

“This is a great opportunity for our talented development team to collaborate with the brilliant minds of The Simpsons to bring original Simpsons material to videogame fans,” said Nick Earl, vice president and general manager of EA’s Redwood Shores Studio.

The Simspons is the longest running animated comedy in TV history, in its seventh season. The show earns more than $1 billion in licensing and merchandise deals.
