The Simpsons Movie sequel is officially in production. The movie, produced by Disney’s 20th Century Studio, is set to be released on July 23, 2027, two decades after the first film. It has taken the place of an untitled Marvel project on the studio’s project schedule. In light of the sequel, there will no longer be a new comic book installment between Avengers: Doomsday on Dec. 18, 2026, and Avengers: Secret Wars on Dec. 17, 2027. The Simpsons, created by Matt Groening, has broken the record for the longest-running animated series and sitcom on television. The show’s 40th season will air during 2028 and 2029. The show is set in Springfield, a fictional town, and captures the lives of the Simpson family, including dad Homer, mom Marge, and kids Bart, Lisa, and Maggie. The show was turned into The Simpsons Movie in July 2007. The film earned an impressive $536 million at the global box office from the original $75 million budget. Though the plot for the second movie has not been revealed, fans speculate that the story will build upon the first film, where Homer endangered Springfield when he accidentally polluted the town’s lake.
