Now that the series is fully owned by The Walt Disney Company, D23 Expo has announced that none other than The Simpsons will be coming to the biennial convention. The Simpsons panel will kick off Saturday, August 24, at 10 A.M. in the D23 Expo Arena.
Creator Matt Groening, Executive Producer Al Jean, Executive Producer Matt Selman, Supervising Director Mike B. Anderson, and stars Nancy Cartwright and Yeardley Smith will all be in attendance. The official announcement also teased surprises, including an exclusive Simpsons collectible item for everyone in attendance.
In addition, costumed characters of Bart, Lisa, and the rest of The Simpsons family will appear on the convention floor and fans will have a once-in-a-lifetime chance to meet Matt Groening and the rest of the panelists during a one-hour autograph signing session of an exclusive The Simpsons mini-poster right after the panel.
It was announced earlier this year that all thirty seasons of The Simpsons will stream on Disney+ when it officially launches this November, that’s 662 episodes spanning four decades that will be at your fingertips. The Simpsons has already been renewed through season 32, carrying it through 2021 and passing its 700th episode. A second feature film was previously announced as being in development as well.
