Disney and twentieth Century Studios on Monday introduced that “The Simpsons” are coming again to the massive display screen. An untitled “Simpsons Film” sequel will hit theaters on July 23, 2027.
“The Simpsons” has already been renewed through its 40th season, which might air in 2028 and 2029, taking the sequence to effectively over 800 whole episodes by that point. In brief, which means this film is not going to be serving as any type of send-off state of affairs.
The one and solely earlier “The Simpsons” film was launched in 2007, so when its sequel arrives in 2027, it’ll mark a full 20 years in between movies. The earlier movie made $536 million worldwide, and the present in subsequent years has joked that there’ll by no means be one other “Simpsons” film. Nicely, instances change.
The shock announcement Monday morning got here out of the yellow blue, and no different particulars have been supplied, however absolutely the primary voice forged that has been with the present since 1990 will return. You may by no means cease “The Simpsons,” however that’s partly as a result of the forged has been largely resilient in its run. In 2013, the longtime voice of Edna Krabappel, Marcia Wallace, handed away, as did the actress Jan Hooks in 2014, who voiced Manjula, amongst different characters.
“The Simpsons” has unsurprisingly had steadily declining scores since its ’90s peak and effectively into the 2000s, and in 2025 hit some new lows, however it’s been a staple of Fox’s bigger Animation Domination block on Sundays, and exhibits like “Household Man” and “Bob’s Burgers” proceed to carry out on the Nielsen charts. “The Simpsons” too is a major cash cow for Disney+, offering tons of ancillary streaming worth, all whereas the present pumps out numerous shorts which can be unique to streaming. Nevertheless, the present season order for the present is only for 17 episodes a season fairly than the present’s regular 22.
“The Simpsons Movie” in 2007 was directed by David Silverman, a veteran of the present and now its government producer alongside showrunner Matt Selman. That movie noticed Springfield change into trapped in a large glass dome to comprise an environmental disaster caused by Homer, requiring the Simpson household to go away residence and discover a solution to rescue their city from destruction by the federal government (all playfully bought to the American public through narration by Tom Hanks).
