Don't have a cow, but* The Simpsons* are coming back to movie theaters.

The last big-screen installment of the animated family's adventures, titled simply *The Simpsons Movie*, premiered back in July 2007. Good thing the family doesn't age!

A calendar of Disney's upcoming offerings released Monday showed that Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, Maggie, and all the rest will return to theaters 20 years to the month afterward, on July 23, 2027.

"Homer's coming back for seconds," read the art on the post, above an image of the animated patriarch's hand holding a classic pink frosted *Simpsons* donut sprinkled with the number two.**

The project replaces an untitled Marvel movie that formerly held that spot on the calendar. *Variety* noted that the change means that comic book fans will have to be satisfied with the releases of *Avengers: Doomsday *on Dec. 18, 2026, and *Avengers: Secret Wars* on Dec. 17, 2027 — and nothing in between.**

While no details about the plot are available yet, expect to see something new for the Springfield family, judging by *Simpsons* co-showrunner Matt Selman's recent conversation with ** about the beloved series' current season 38.

Did 'The Simpsons' really kill off Marge? The answer is complicated

"The trick is to tell stories that feel like they're from a show that is not in its 37th season, right?" Selman said. "And also to avoid feeling like we're repeating ourselves, or just doing episodes that don't have a personality, or have nothing to say."**

He added that, "the most important thing to like for any show, especially *The Simpsons*, is the state of your characters. The next most important thing is to deliver originality to the viewer. And originality usually comes from real life — the new things that have happened in real life. So like, dad TV is a new thing. Thrifting is sort of a new thing. Nostalgia for the '90s is sort of a new thing. That's our job. And that's why the premiere does that."

The first movie was a blockbuster, earning more than $183 million domestically and $536 million worldwide, per Box Office Mojo. The story there was that Homer had accidentally polluted the town's water supply, and the Simpson family members were declared fugitives by the Environmental Protection Agency.

*The Simpsons*, now in season 37, airs Sundays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Fox.****
