Upcoming plots:

The first several episodes are detours through sci-fi and horror.

In one episode, Marge‘s self-image in the town that everyone thinks she’s a good person is at stake when Homer and Marge have to respond to a kidnapping and extortion situation. The kidnappers have not yet been decided on, but they’re thinking of Jimbo and Shauna.

One episode in the first half of the season will be dedicated to Ned Flanders reflecting on the deaths of Maude Flanders and Edna Krabappel, because it’s “never too late to emotionally address a past trauma”.

One episode will reference the court room scene from the film Anatomy of a Fall.

One idea Al Jean has is Willie posing on OnlyFans.
