The Simpsons season 37 will get an intriguing tease from showrunner Matt Selman, who previews a Reacher connection. Parodying popular culture is integral to The Simpsons. It is arguably a part of the present’s cloth, in a way, contemplating the long-lasting picture of the titular household gathered round a TV display screen. The animated staple just lately parodied The White Lotus, a breakout HBO dramedy.
The Simpsons season 37 will hold the pattern going with a send-up of Dad TV that is arguably typified by Reacher. Led by Alan Ritchson, who has since turn into a breakout star, Reacher is one in every of Prime Video’s greatest hits. Based mostly on the novels by Lee Youngster, the collection follows lone wolf Jack Reacher as he inevitably finds himself caught up in a harmful conspiracy.
In an interview with ScreenRant‘s Brandon Zachary, Selman revealed that Homer will turn into obsessive about a Reacher-like present in season 37. Within the quote beneath, the showrunner additionally previews Lisa getting widespread and Bart doing a tackle the acclaimed Nineteen Nineties Coen brothers movie Barton Fink, and a riff on tech billionaires:
We have now our season premiere, which is about Lisa getting sucked into the world of thrifting. If you would like a contemporary coat of paint on a “Lisa will get widespread episode,” this present for you, I adore it. I am not making an attempt to knock it, you understand, we gotta repeat ourselves just a little bit generally. I like this episode. It is tremendous humorous. And the B-story is Homer will get hooked on a Reacher-type Dad TV present with plenty of punching. That’s a Homer B story.
We have now the Treehouse of Horror, we’ll speak about that just a little extra at Comedian-Con. We have now an enormous sort of a two hander with Bart and Professor Frank known as Bart and Frank. The title is a parody of Barton Fink. We have accomplished others like Bart the Fink, we must always truly do an episode known as “Bart-on clean” and each permutate we are able to consider. It sort of satirizes tech billionaire tradition and the will to be body-hacking, making an attempt to remain alive perpetually, these techno guys.
What This Means For The Simpsons Season 37
Taking Intention At Dad TV

What will likely be attention-grabbing to observe is how carefully the B-plot, as Sellman describes it, sticks to the parody of 1 present.

Our Take On The Simpsons Season 37
The Present Makes an attempt To Replace Itself
After the ending of The Simpsons season 36, which drew headlines for the non-canon dying of Marge Simpson, the showrunner acknowledges that the long-running comedy is taking part in the hits. The hits do sound totally different, although, with time. Billionaires have been a frequent goal on The Simpsons, although the tech facet is an important variation.
