In 1994, Jean and Reiss signed a three-year deal with The Walt Disney Company to produce other television shows for ABC, and the duo created and executive-produced "Teen Angel", which was canceled in its first season. Jean returned full-time to "The Simpsons" during the tenth season (1998–99). He became showrunner again with the start of the thirteenth season in 2001, without Reiss, and has held that position since. Jean was also one of the writers and producers who worked on "The Simpsons Movie", a feature-length film based on the series, released in 2007.
