Two decades after the original film captivated audiences worldwide, ‘The Simpsons Movie’ is set to return with a highly anticipated sequel. 20th Century Studios and Disney officially announced the project on Monday, with a scheduled release date of July 23, 2027. While plot details remain under wraps, the sequel continues the legacy of Fox’s iconic animated sitcom, which chronicles the humorous and often chaotic lives of Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie Simpson. The first film, released in 2007, featured Homer’s accidental pollution of Springfield’s water supply, leading to a dramatic attempt to save his family and the town, which had been encased under a massive glass dome. The announcement was accompanied by a playful poster shared across social media platforms, depicting a doughnut being snatched with the tagline: ‘Homer’s coming back for seconds.’ Fans expressed their excitement in the comments, with many humorously referencing the show’s famous opening credits. The Simpsons franchise, created by Matt Groening, debuted in 1987 as cartoon shorts on ‘The Tracey Ullman Show’ before becoming a standalone series in 1989. With 37 seasons aired and a renewal through season 40, the show remains a cultural phenomenon. The original movie, directed by David Silverman, grossed $536 million globally, and rumors of a sequel had circulated for years. Showrunner Matt Selman recently highlighted how streaming platforms have revitalized the series, attracting both loyal viewers and a new generation of fans.
