The Simpsons Sequel Announced: Homer and Family returning to theaters in 2027

The Simpsons

It took two decades, but it’s happening. The Simpsons Movie sequel has been confirmed for release on July 23, 2027, nearly 20 years after Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie last hit the big screen. Fans of the yellow-skinned family can officially mark their calendars.

The news broke via Variety, with Disney’s 20th Century Studios locking in the date. Interestingly, the film will take over a slot once reserved for an untitled Marvel movie that’s now been shelved.

A Pink Donut Teaser for Fans

Disney, 20th Century Studios, and the official The Simpsons Instagram accounts shared a cheeky poster to announce the sequel. The image shows a hand clutching a pink donut, frosting shaped like the number “2.” The tagline? “Homer’s coming back for seconds.”

The caption drove the point home: “Woohoo! The Simpsons are coming to theaters with an all-new movie on July 23, 2027!” Fans immediately flooded the comments, some joking they’ll be “older than Grandpa Simpson” by the time it lands.

What We Know 

Beyond the date, details remain under wraps. Neither Disney nor 20th Century has confirmed the sequel’s plot, cast, or creative team. Still, the excitement is high.

With The Simpsons in its 37th season and renewed through season 40, it’s clear Springfield’s most famous residents aren’t slowing down.
