The iconic animated series “The Simpsons” has some exciting guest stars lined up for its upcoming Season 37. During a panel at San Diego Comic-Con, the show’s producers announced that Kieran Culkin from “Succession,” Glenn Howerton from “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” Albert Brooks, Cole Escola from “Oh Mary,” Danny Pudi from “Community,” Adam Pally, and Brendan and Domhall Gleeson will be making appearances in Springfield.
Additionally, fans can look forward to a special Halloween episode as part of the annual “Treehouse of Horror” series. This year’s spooky segment will feature guest stars Idris Elba, Michael Keaton, and Viola Davis, with an opening from guest animator Stan Kelly of The Onion.
Creator Matt Groening, along with executive producers Matt Selman and Mike Price, director Matt Faughnan, and consulting producer/director David Silverman were on hand to share the exciting news. Groening jokingly mentioned that he initially thought Season 36 would be the end, but there’s no stopping “The Simpsons” anytime soon.
The show is gearing up for its 800th episode, set to air in February 2026. Selman promised two brand new original episodes for the milestone event, teasing that they will be the best 800th episode of any show ever.
Addressing recent rumors about the show predicting real-life events, Selman warned fans not to fall for these claims. He emphasized that while “The Simpsons” has had its fair share of coincidental predictions, not everything circulating online is true.
Groening added a humorous twist by claiming that the show’s creators are actually time travelers, jokingly making predictions about Elon Musk, the Statue of Liberty, and the influence of Fox News.
During the panel, the team attempted to play a game of “Simpsons Comic-Con Pictionary,” but technical difficulties got in the way. Guest animators/writers Michael Cusack and Mike McMahan joined the discussion, adding their insights on the beloved series.
Finally, the producers addressed the recent buzz surrounding Marge Simpson’s rumored death in the Season 36 finale. Selman clarified that the events in the episode were not canon, as “The Simpsons” doesn’t adhere to a strict continuity. He urged fans to be cautious of misleading headlines and to think critically before believing everything they read.
Overall, “The Simpsons” continues to entertain audiences with its humor, guest stars, and timeless satirical commentary on society. Stay tuned for more adventures from the yellow-skinned residents of Springfield in Season 37 and beyond.
