Homer Returns: New Simpsons Movie Slated for Summer 2027

Are The Simpsons still relevant? Disney announced that a brand-new, untitled Simpsons movie is set to hit theaters on July 23, 2027, acting as a direct sequel to the 2007 hit, The Simpsons Movie. While details such as the plot or returning voice cast have yet to be revealed, fans are hopeful that the beloved original actors will reprise their iconic roles.

For over 35 years, The Simpsons has been more than just a TV show; it’s a cultural touchstone. From Homer’s exasperated “D’oh!” to Bart’s mischievous grin, from Lisa’s moral compass to Maggie’s silent wisdom, the characters have left an indelible mark on generations of viewers. Catchphrases and classic moments are still quoted today, and memes from decades-old episodes continue to light up social media, proving that the show’s humor endures even for younger audiences discovering it for the first time.

While critics often point to the newer seasons as not quite reaching the brilliance of the golden era (roughly seasons 3–10), The Simpsons continues to entertain, adapt, and capture headlines, especially when guest stars or major cultural events are involved. Nostalgia aside, it remains a vibrant part of pop culture, reminding us why we fell in love with Springfield and its quirky residents in the first place.
