I love The Simpsons. It's also the worst thing on television. Revealing yourself as a Simpsons fan comes with inevitable qualifiers: Not the new episodes! Most people want their favourite show to last as long as miserly TV executives will allow. Not me. I would gladly see The Simpsons sent to the knacker's yard, rather than given a second movie, as was announced earlier this week.

Hey, we may not get more Spider-Man, but more Spider-Pig is always welcome. Disney and 20th Century Studios confirmed The Simpsons 2 with a poster on September 29. "Homer's coming back for seconds," it reads, and the "all-new movie" is set for release on July 23, 2027. Initially, that date was to be taken by a yet-untitled Marvel film - but now there's nothing between 2026's Avengers: Doomsday and 2027's Avengers: Secret Wars, both of which were postponed to December from May.

On September 29, Disney and 20th Century announced on social media that a new Simpsons film was officially in development. No plot details were shared about the movie, but Disney did post a teaser poster for the upcoming sequel. The poster features Homer Simpson grabbing a pink doughnut covered in sprinkles shaped like the number 2, likely hinting that the movie will be titled The Simpsons Movie 2. The tagline "Homer's combing back for seconds" is included on the poster.

The creators of the long-running hit series attended San Diego Comic-Con and attended an autograph signing. While chatting with On The Red Carpet at pop culture's biggest event, Groening dished on his unique room, "I have a special 'Simpsons' themed guest bedroom. And, it's got 'Simpsons' bed sheets, and 'Simpsons' pillows, and a 'Simpsons' lamp, and 'Simpsons' wallpaper, and 'Simpsons' draperies."

People have been quoting to me so often, and for so long, that even if I don't recognize the quote, I am able to recognize that it's from . When I do recognize the quote, it's not because I've seen that episode, but that so many people have quoted it before. People quote The Simpsons like it's a secret handshake with the whole world-and at this point, it basically is.

The viral claim that 'The Simpsons' predicted a Coldplay concert kiss cam moment revolves around a purported screenshot connected to the upcoming concert date in July 2025. Users on social media rapidly shared this event as another example of the show's predictive prowess.

With 36 seasons complete and a renewal through a 40th secured, The Simpsons has entered territory previously occupied mostly by non-prime-time stalwarts.

If you have to fill your brain up with anything, it might as well be the funniest stuff that's ever been on TV.
