Get ready to return to Springfield! Disney has officially confirmed that The Simpsons Movie 2 is in production and scheduled to hit cinemas worldwide in July 2027, exactly two decades after the original groundbreaking animated film.
Two Decades in the Making
The long-awaited sequel promises to bring back the entire iconic voice cast, including Dan Castellaneta as Homer, Nancy Cartwright as Bart, and Julie Kavner as Marge. After years of speculation and fan demands, the project is finally moving forward under Disney's ownership of the franchise.
What We Know About the Plot
While specific plot details remain under wraps, insiders suggest the sequel will explore contemporary themes while maintaining the signature humour that has made The Simpsons the longest-running American scripted primetime television series. The film aims to balance nostalgia with fresh storytelling that appeals to both longtime fans and new audiences.
Production Details
- Release Date: July 2027
- Studio: Disney (via 20th Century Animation)
- Original Cast: All main voice actors returning
- Development: Years of secret planning finally revealed
The original 2007 Simpsons Movie was a massive commercial success, grossing over $500 million worldwide and receiving critical acclaim for its clever writing and successful transition from television to feature film.
Why Now?
The timing aligns perfectly with the 20th anniversary of the first film, creating built-in marketing opportunities and nostalgic appeal. With the television series continuing to produce new episodes, the movie sequel represents an opportunity to bring the Simpson family back to the big screen with higher stakes and production values than television allows.
Industry analysts predict the sequel could revitalise interest in the franchise and introduce Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie to a new generation of viewers while delivering the classic humour that established fans have loved for decades.
