Thanks to Variety, we know that they’ll be two episodes.
Next, new details on “Treehouse of Horror XXXVI“.
They played a clip from this year’s “Treehouse of Horror” episode. The introductory couch gag was created by @TheOnion’s political cartoonist Stan Kelly, while the THOH segment in full was sort of a combo parody of “Jaws” meets “The Blob.” #TheSimpsons #SDCC2025

Thanks to ScreenRant, we’ve information on what appeared in the clip.
The clip will be featured in a segment called Chubbo and the Stinker, it’ll be the first segment of the episode, and a parody of Jaws and The Blob. In it, two characters will be killed off when a monster created from sentient lard, named the “fatburg”, takes over Springfield. First, Chief Wiggum is killed, but the big death is Bart Simpson, who, it’s revealed, is drained of all his lard and dies.
A poster of the segment was shared on July 24th:
