Don’t look now, but a new Simpsons movie is on the way, releasing July 23, 2027.
The second Simpsons movie from 20th Century Studios is coming almost twenty years to the day after the original, taking over the date previously reserved for an untitled Marvel movie. Based on the recent string of Marvel misfires, this seems like a safer bet.
The original film, beautifully titled The Simpsons Movie, was released in July 2007 and was a runaway hit. It opened to $74 million, going on to collect more than $536 million worldwide. That doesn’t include the plethora of promotional tie-ins, which included several 7-11 locations converting into Kwik-E-Mart spots, marking just one of the tremendous marketing collaborations the studio executed in the lead-up to the film’s highly anticipated release.
Although no details regarding the plot or cast are known, The Simpsons features the voices of Dan Castellaneta (Homer), Yeardley Smith (Lisa), Julie Kavner (Marge), and Nancy Cartwright (Bart). Hank Azaria and Harry Shearer also star in multiple roles. You’d expect them to all take part in the big screen adaptation, though it is 2025. So truly, anything can happen.
Though a long way out, the new Simpsons movie will go head-to-head with Warner Bros.’ Bad Fairies, an animated musical from director Megan Nicole Dong. One would expect that title to find a new date given the similarities. Elsewhere, the Superman follow-up Man of Tomorrow, and Paramount’s highly anticipated threequel A Quiet Place Part III will drop on July 9th. One would also expect one of those titles to relocate, given that, unlike Barbenheimer, they pull from very similar demographics.
The Simpsons TV series originally premiered in 1989 after initially being shown as a short on the 1987 sketch comedy series The Tracy Ullman Show. The series is co-created by James L. Brooks, Matt Groening, and Sam Simon. Currently in its 37th season, it is the longest-running scripted primetime series in history.
