The Simpsons are preparing a return to the big screen, and the wait is on again. However, after the massive success of<\/g> the 2007 film, the team is considering a second feature-length film. The project is proceeding cautiously, as the objective remains a solid story. <\/p>\n

A second feature film in preparation<\/h2>\n

From the creators’ point of view, the signals are encouraging<\/a>, but measured. James L. Brooks, Matt Groening and Al Jean have been talking about it for months, with no firm announcement for The Simpsons. As a result, Disney and 20th Century Studios are studying the best window and the right format. The course is clear: no green light without a script deemed irresistible. <\/p>\n

The series continues in parallel, with season 36<\/strong> in production. This pace also makes it difficult to plan an ambitious Simpsons movie. The writers<\/a> juggle episodes, rewrites and movie ideas. <\/p>\n

What we know so far<\/h3>\n

The first film was released in 2007<\/strong> with David Silverman at the helm. It grossed around $536 million<\/g> at the box office worldwide. By comparison, today’s production<\/a> and promotional standards have evolved, prompting The Simpsons to aim even higher. <\/p>\n

“A second film will only see the light of day if the story is worthwhile.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Simpsons rely on recognizable, well-honed voices. Dan Castellaneta, Julie Kavner, Nancy Cartwright and Yeardley Smith are the mainstays. However, no casting has yet been made official, and both Hank Azaria and Harry Shearer are awaiting the sequel. <\/p>\n

As for distribution, several scenarios are being studied. A theatrical release remains the preferred option, but Disney+ could complete the exhibition. As a result, the exact course of The Simpsons film remains open. <\/p>\n
