Overview

• 20th Century Studios confirmed the sequel for theaters on July 23, 2027, marking the franchise’s first film since 2007.
• The studio shared a teaser image of Homer reaching for a pink donut sprinkled in the shape of a 2 with the line, “Homer’s coming back for seconds.”
• The move takes over a removed Marvel slot and leaves a year-long gap between Avengers: Doomsday (Dec. 18, 2026) and Avengers: Secret Wars (Dec. 17, 2027).
• The release lands near the 20th anniversary of the original movie, which was directed by David Silverman and followed the series’ long TV run.
• The Simpsons TV show remains active with renewals through season 40, and the 2007 film’s $536 million global haul underscores the brand’s box-office potential.
