The Simpsons Movie will return for a sequel 20 years after the original.<\/p>\n

Based on the popular and long-running Fox animated US sitcom – which follows the lives of Homer, Marge and their three children, Bart, Lisa and Maggie – the as-yet untitled sequel is set to be released on 23 July 2027, 20th Century Studios and Disney confirmed on Monday.<\/p>\n

The first film, released in 2007, saw Homer accidentally pollute the water supply of Springfield and then attempt to save his city, which had been sealed off under a huge glass dome.<\/p>\n

The poster for the new film, shared on various social media platforms, shows a doughnut being grabbed alongside the tagline: “Homer’s coming back for seconds.”<\/p>\n

Excited fans posted in the comments underneath<\/a>, with many satirsing the show’s opening credits to show images of Bart writing lines on a school blackboard, which read: “I will not wait another 20 years to make a movie.”<\/p>\n

The Simpsons first appeared in 1987 as cartoon shorts before getting their own TV show two years later.<\/p>\n

The cartoon, created by Matt Groening, has aired for 37 seasons. It was recently renewed through to season 40, which will air in 2028\/29.<\/p>\n

The first movie, directed by David Silverman, grossed an estimated $536 million (\u00a3400m) at the global box office and there have rumours of a sequel for years but nothing official has been confirmed until now.<\/p>\n

Showrunner Matt Selman recently told Variety<\/a> that streaming had helped the series not only remain relevant to older viewers but also gain new fans.<\/p>\n

“Now, instead of the kids watching it on local TV in the afternoon, they can just watch it all, all the time, all day, all forever,” he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
