“The Simpsons” is gearing up for a new movie release almost 20 years after the original hit theaters. The beloved animated series will make a big-screen comeback following its successful debut in 2007.
The announcement of the upcoming movie was made on social media, revealing that the new adaptation is scheduled for release on July 23, 2027. Although specific plot details have not been disclosed yet, fans are eagerly anticipating the feature film based on the long-running Fox animated show created by Matt Groening.
20th Century Studios officially confirmed the news through their Instagram account. They posted an image of Homer Simpson holding a pink donut adorned with sprinkles forming the number 2. The caption read: “Homer’s coming back for seconds.”
A user on Twitter/X expressed excitement about the new “Simpsons” movie, noting its release date of July 23, 2027, which coincided with a vacant slot previously held by a Marvel Studios film. The sequel will mark Disney’s second animated feature catering to older audiences.
Fans dissected the significance behind the announcement, referencing one of Bart’s iconic chalkboard messages from the show. Some fans humorously pointed out the nearly 20-year gap between the first movie and its sequel, with one user quipping, “I will not wait 20 years to make another movie.”
Others engaged in playful banter, reminiscing about the original movie’s release in 2007 and the close call of the sequel’s release date almost hitting the 20-year mark.
Despite the first movie receiving mixed reviews from critics, loyal fans of the show lauded its content. The Mirror’s critic at the time gave it a modest rating, highlighting some decent jokes but ultimately deeming it underwhelming.
With the return of the animation to theaters, showrunner Matt Selman acknowledged the show’s enduring popularity, attributing streaming platforms to its sustained success. Selman emphasized the accessibility of the series to viewers of all ages through digital platforms.
