From an article on Variety, some other information were revealed:
Danny DeVito will guest star in “Bart’s Birthday” too.
One of the “Treehouse of Horror XXXV” segments (reported previously as “Giant monsters created by political rage threaten to tear the town apart”) looks at how divided our country is — in this case, literal red versus blue monsters in a “kind of ‘Pacific Rim’ style pool”.
The episode from which one of the first episodes will be a sequel of sorts to, reported previously by CNN, is confirmed to be “22 Short Films About Springfield“.
