Disney’s 20th Century just announced that a new movie based on the long-running animated TV sitcom The Simpsons is in the works. The sequel is set to hit theaters in 2027, a whopping 20 years after the first Simpsons flick was released. In a social media post on September 29, Disney and 20th Century revealed that a new Simpsons film is officially in development. While no plot details have been shared about the movie yet, a teaser poster for the upcoming sequel was unveiled. The poster shows Homer Simpson holding a pink doughnut covered in sprinkles shaped like the number 2, hinting at a possible title for the movie – The Simpsons Movie 2. The tagline “Homer’s combing back for seconds” is also featured on the poster. So, it looks like Homer will be making a comeback. Exciting news for all the Simpsons fans out there! Woohoo! The Simpsons are headed back to the big screen with a brand-new movie on July 23, 2027!
The Simpsons, created by Matt Groening and debuting in 1989, is the longest-running sitcom on TV. Despite facing criticism for its quality since the late ’90s, the show has managed to maintain its popularity on TV and remains a key player in Fox’s Sunday lineup of animated TV shows. The original Simpsons movie premiered in July 2007 and was a massive box office success, raking in over $536 million worldwide. The movie centered around a plot where a giant dome is placed over Springfield due to pollution. It also brought back former writers, underwent a long production process, and showcased a more detailed art style. Rumors of a second Simpsons movie have been circulating for years, including a proposed follow-up involving the franchise’s alien characters Kang and Kodos. However, that project never materialized as the writing team struggled to develop a full-length storyline. But it seems like the writers and producers of the show have finally cracked the code for the next film. Now, all we have to do is sit tight until 2027.
Alright, so not entirely sure why this really matters, but Disney’s 20th Century just dropped the bomb that a new Simpsons movie is on the horizon. Fans can rejoice as Homer Simpson is making a return to the big screen in The Simpsons Movie 2, set for release in 2027. The teaser poster, featuring Homer with a doughnut shaped like a 2, seems to suggest that this sequel is happening for real. With the tagline “Homer’s combing back for seconds,” it looks like we’re in for another hilarious adventure with the beloved Simpson family. Despite mixed reviews of the show in recent years, The Simpsons has managed to maintain its status as a TV staple and is gearing up for another shot at box office success come 2027. Let’s hope this next installment lives up to the hype and delivers the same level of entertainment that fans have come to expect from the iconic series. Get ready for more Springfield shenanigans on the big screen!
