The Simpsons Movie Shares Bad News for the Sequel

A new Simpsons Movie sequel is in the works, but unfortunately, it will take longer than expected to reach theaters. The future of The Simpsons looks bright, as the show has been renewed for four more seasons, bringing it to Season 40 on FOX. In addition to the long-running series, a new movie is also being developed. Interestingly, the plan was to release the sequel 20 years after the original film.

Fans who enjoyed The Simpsons Movie were excited to learn a sequel was finally being made, especially after years of requests. However, recent news isn’t what they hoped for – the new movie has been delayed and won’t be released in July 2027 as originally planned.

The Simpsons Movie 2 Hit By Major Delay

The next Simpsons movie, currently known as The Simpsons Movie 2, has been pushed back to September 3, 2027. Originally planned for July 23, 2027, the delay means it’s been over 20 years since the first film – a running joke the show itself made! Fortunately, the delay is only a few months, so it’s not a huge setback.

Originally, The Simpsons Movie 2 and a sequel to A Minecraft Movie were both scheduled to come out on the same weekend. Now that the release has been pushed back, the sequel will likely face less competition. However, 2027 is looking a little less exciting for movie fans than it was before. Still, this just adds to the growing number of big movies planned for release that year. 2027 is shaping up to be a huge year for films, but it feels a long way off.

What’s Going to Happen in The Simpsons Movie 2?

It’s difficult to predict what a potential sequel to The Simpsons Movie will be about. With so many ongoing storylines in the current episodes, it’s hard to know which one would be substantial enough for a full movie. However, the next installment will likely feel like a significant ending. Although the animated series is expected to continue beyond 2027, this could be a way to say goodbye to the long-running show and the actors who have voiced the characters for four decades.

As The Simpsons continues, the show will likely change, and it’s unrealistic to expect the original voice actors to continue for another 40 years. Some cast members are already retiring, so we’ll soon see what happens with the remaining actors. A new movie would be a fitting way to say goodbye to the show and its iconic characters.
