Two months after Twentieth Century Fox Television began accepting bids for the off-net cable rights to the longest-running scripted series in TV history, a corporate sibling has emerged the victor.

FXX on Friday confirmed that it has nailed down the exclusive cable, VOD and non-linear rights to all 24 extant seasons, or 530 episodes, of The Simpsons. While financial terms were not disclosed, this is believed to be the biggest off-network deal ever—worth an estimated $800 million to $1 billion over the course of the next decade.
