And the Simpsons just dropped the announcement of releasing the double-length Disney Plus special titled, “Extreme Makeover: Homer Edition“.
In a recent interview on Four Finger Discount podcast, Simpsons showrunner Matt Selman went into detail about fans can expect from the special.
“What’s really cool about it, and what we’ve never done before, is this is a trilogy, but it’s a trilogy that has room to breathe”, Selman explains. “Each of the three segments are eight minutes long, and the wraparound is like a real episode story in and of itself.”
This is exciting news, since after 37 years on the air, it’s not very often The Simpsons can provide fans with a new concept to enjoy.
“It’s even longer than two episodes because it’s on streaming, so we’re not really locked into the commercial constraint [of television]” says Selman. “Honestly, there was stuff in this that I was watching and I was like, can we just make this the [Simpsons] movie?”
It’s a double and a trilogy episode. Each segment is 8 minutes long, with a wrap-around episode with a story too, and will be around 46 minutes long.
It has big pop colture mashups.
There’s a pan across a retro nostalgia arcade, with old and new video games full of references, Easter Eggs, visual gags and jokes. One of them is called Nefertiti’s Ale.
It’ll have a big couch gag with a special collaboration.
Matt also confirmed that Simpsley is coming this Summer.
Matt also added that Yellow Mirror’ll have flashbacks material connected to the first flashback episode “The Way We Was”.
