Disney gave fans a first look at the long‑awaited sequel during the 2026 D23 Expo, unveiling a short clip that teases a new adventure for Homer and his family.
A Baseball‑Driven Sequel
The teaser shows Homer and the gang in a frantic pursuit of a runaway baseball that careens through Moe’s Tavern, an emergency room, and the bustling Duff Brewery before culminating in a massive beer tank, a visual gag that riffs on the 1994 classic 'The Natural' and the beloved episode 'Homer at the Bat'.
The film is slated to hit theaters on September 3, 2027, riding the momentum of the original 2007 movie, which earned $536.7 million worldwide and debuted on July 21, 2007.
From Chalkboard Promise to Big‑Screen Chase
The sequel revives a line Bart once scribbled on a chalkboard — ‘I will not wait 20 years to make another movie’ — a promise finally kept after two decades, while the new project carries the tagline ‘Homer’s coming back for seconds’ and arrives as 'The Simpsons' prepares to begin its 39th season.
Adding to the nostalgic flavor, the soundtrack features a memorable cue from Jan De Bont’s 'Speed', linking the new adventure to a iconic piece of ’90s cinema.
