200px-Season_35_artworkNew information on the plot of the season premiere and a new episode, “Bart and Frink“, have been announced!

In an interview with ScreenRant, Matt Selman revealed new details on season 37.

First he talks about the season premiere. Its story with Lisa and the side plot with Homer: “We have our season premiere, which is about Lisa getting sucked into the world of thrifting. If you want a fresh coat of paint on a “Lisa gets popular episode,” this show for you, I love it. I’m not trying to knock it, you know, we gotta repeat ourselves a little bit sometimes. I love this episode. It’s super funny. And the B-story is Homer gets addicted to a Reacher-type Dad TV show with lots of punching. That’s a Homer B story.”

We already have reported about the main plot previously, but the side plot is new.

Next, Sellman talks about the “Treehouse of Horror XXXVI“, confirming we’ll have new information at the upcoming San Diego Comic-Con: “We have the Treehouse of Horror, we’ll talk about that a little more at Comic-Con.”

The last information Sellman told ScreenRant is about the new upcoming episode, “Bart and Frink“: “We have a big kind of a two hander with Bart and Professor Frink called Bart and Frink. The title is a parody of Barton Fink. We’ve done others like Bart the Fink, we should actually do an episode called “Bart-on blank” and every permutate we can think of. It kind of satirizes tech billionaire culture and the desire to be body-hacking, trying to stay alive forever, those techno guys.”

RIP Alf Clausen. Longtime Simpsons Composer Dies At Age 84.

Alf Clausen

Emmy award-winning composer Alf Clausen, who worked on the show from season 2 to season 28, died yesterday, May 29, 2025, after a decade-long battle with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). He was 84.

Clausen took over composing for the show from Richard Gibbs, who composed the music for season 1. He then served as the composer up until the end of season 28, where he was let go from the show due to the producers wanting a different direction for music going forward, issues with Clausen outsourcing compositions to other people, including his son, and to save on costs. After he left the show, he was credited as composer emeritus up until season 32. However, Clausen then started legal action against the show, claiming he was fired because of his age. The suit got dropped in January 2022.

Clausen’s music has still been used since he left the show, with his most recent credit being “The Flandshees of Innersimpson” in season 36.
