‘There Probably Will Be Another ‘Simpsons’ Movie,’ Says Showrunner Matt Selman

Even if it takes until 2042

October 21, 2024

This year’s New York Comic Con saw The Simpsons hold its first-ever panel at the event. It consisted of creator Matt Groening, showrunner Matt Selman, voice actor Hank Azaria and writers/producers Carolyn Omine and Tim Long. 

One of the questions asked was when, if ever, another Simpsons movie would be forthcoming, as there hasn’t been a theatrical adventure for Springfield’s first family since 2007. Groening joked that it’d be in “2042,” but Selman was a bit more revealing, explaining that another film is something that’s been discussed. While he cautioned that “this isn’t an announcement,” he did say, “There probably will be another Simpsons movie.”

What it would look like and when it would be released is obviously still a total unknown, but given the show’s love for commemorating anniversaries, 2027 — the 20th anniversary of the first film — makes a lot of sense.

As with the first film, many will speculate that a new movie would mark the end of the series, but Selman quickly dismissed that notion, vowing that, a second movie or no second movie, The Simpsons is “meant to go on forever.”
