Creatives behind "The Simpsons" shared new details about Season 33 on Saturday, revealing that it will feature a musical premiere, an expanded “Treehouse of Horror” episode and more.
During a Comic-Con@Home panel teasing the new season, executive producer Matt Selman described premiere episode “The Star of the Backstage” as the “most musical episode we’ve ever done”—”like a Broadway musical of an episode with wall to wall music.”
The season’s first episode will feature an assortment of original songs. Actress Kristen Bell (Frozen) will handle singing for Marge, the Simpsons matriarch played by Julie Kavner.
EP Al Jean later announced that this year’s “Treehouse of Horror XXXII” episode will feature five segments, rather than the traditional set of three, presenting one of the five to the virtual Comic-Con audience.
He subsequently touched on two other upcoming episodes. One may see romance come to stick in the life of bartender Moe (Hank Azaria). The other explores the greatest tragedy Homer (Dan Castellaneta) has ever faced.
"Crazy Ex-Girlfriend’s" Rachel Bloom will guest star in the latter.
A final tease came from Selman, who discussed a two-part episode titled “A Serious Flanders,” which will air in November. The two-parter is billed as “an epic love letter to the show Fargo and the world of streaming television.”
Guest stars will include Timothy Olyphant, Cristin Milioti and Brian Cox.
