20th century studio
Homer returns to the big screen and holds a donut. The 20th century studio has officially announced a sequel to the Simpsons film!
The studio announced that a follow-up film will be released at Australian cinemas on July 22nd and at US cinemas on July 23rd, 2027. The release came with a cheeky poster.

The 2007 film set Hiber. Water supply at Homer Doom Springfield, EPA slammed the dome over town, and he had to grab the red road. Maggie also said, “A sequel?” During the end credits, a wink that will ultimately be rewarded nearly 20 years later.

Show that rejects age

For now, you can submit this to “About Time” and probably have a spare doughnut on hand.
