The Simpsons’ beloved yearly Treehouse of Horror series will be returning this year, with not one, but two installments. We learned that, and more details during The Simpsons panel at San Diego Comic-Con.
What’s Happening:
- This year, The Simpsons will take on two Treehouse of Horror anthology episodes – one of which will be under the “Treehouse of Horror Presents” banner.
- That episode, like the parody of Stephen King’s IT from 2022, is based entirely on Ray Bradbury short stories.
- Three short stories will be featured, which will include the voice of guest star Andy Serkis (The Last Jedi, Andor)
- Meanwhile, Treehouse of Horror XXXV will feature animation by The Book of Life director Jorge R. Guitierrez, which was showcased at the Comic-Con panel.
- Special guests Seth Green (Family Guy) and Harv Harvatine from animation studio Stoopid Buddy took to the stage to show off the new Treehouse of Horror parody of Venom about Homer’s pants, entitled “Denim.”
- Green even showcased the puppets his animation company made for Homer’s pants in “Denim.”
- A poster for “Denim” was also shared following the panel.
- Fans were in for a treat when the panel hosts recorded the Ballroom 20 audience screaming, with the audio to be used in Treehouse of Horror XXXV.
- Additionally, it was revealed that the premiere episode of The Simpsons 36th season will feature the voices of Conan O’Brien, John Cena, Tom Hanks, and several Major League Baseball players.
- Season 36 of The Simpsons launches this fall on FOX, with the Treehouse of Horror episodes planned to air in November.
