Beloved animated family Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie Simpson are gearing up for a cinematic comeback after two decades. “The Simpsons 2” is officially in production at Disney’s 20th Century Studios and is set to premiere in theaters on July 23, 2027. The film replaces an unnamed Marvel project that has been dropped from Disney’s release schedule. The upcoming release creates a gap in the Marvel Cinematic Universe between “Avengers: Doomsday,” slated for December 18, 2026, and “Avengers: Secret Wars,” scheduled for December 17, 2027.
New Plot Details for The Simpsons Sequel
While Disney and 20th Century Studios have yet to confirm specific plot details for “The Simpsons 2,” the official poster has been unveiled on Instagram. It features the iconic pink donut and the teaser tagline, “Homer’s coming back for seconds.” This eagerly anticipated sequel follows the original “The Simpsons Movie,” which debuted in July 2007, grossing $536 million worldwide against a $75 million budget. The film, directed by series veteran David Silverman, depicted Springfield under a glass dome after Homer’s mishap led to environmental chaos.
The Simpsons: A Television Legacy
Created by Matt Groening, “The Simpsons” holds the title of the longest-running animated series and sitcom in television history. Currently renewed through its 40th season, the show is set to air during 2028 and 2029. Set in the fictional town of Springfield, the series chronicles the lives of the colorful Simpson family. The continued popularity of “The Simpsons” is reflected in its seamless adaptation to streaming platforms, where it has attracted a new generation of fans.
Streaming Revitalizes The Simpsons Franchise
According to showrunner Matt Selman, streaming services have played a crucial role in keeping “The Simpsons” at the forefront of pop culture. “Now instead of the kids watching it on local TV in the afternoon, they can just watch it all, all the time, all day, all forever,” Selman remarked to Variety. The show’s availability on Disney+ has rejuvenated interest, drawing in audiences across age groups. “Being on Disney+ has been somewhat rejuvenating for us. Not that we realized we needed rejuvenation, but we appreciate it,” Selman added.
As anticipation builds for “The Simpsons 2,” fans old and new look forward to more antics and adventures from the world’s most famous animated family, marking another milestone in their enduring legacy.
