SPOILER:

The Simpsons executive producer Al Jean has revealed Homer and Marge marriage will “legally separate” in the next season.

“In the premiere, it’s discovered after all the years Homer has narcolepsy and it’s an incredible strain on the marriage,” he told Variety.

“Homer and Marge legally separate, and Homer falls in love with his pharmacist, who’s voiced by Lena Dunham. We’ll have cameos from the other women from Girls.”

Of course there is nothing to suggest the separation cannot be patched up by episode’s end with nuptials.

“We have an episode coming up where Lisa befriends a homeless woman who turns out to be an incredible singer,” he continued. “The woman’s voiced by Kate McKinnon, but the singing is done by Natalie Maines. In another episode, Spider Pig makes his return. Sideshow Bob appears in a segment, and we finally see him do something he’s wanted to do for 25 years.”

There have been reports of the death of Bart in the Halloween episode.

“And we have an episode based on the film ‘Boyhood.’ It’s a flashback/flashforward about Bart. We go to various points in his life and his life to come which I think came out really well.”

Alas, Jean wasn’t asked about the exit of Harry Shearer.

  1. Please, please, please end this show now. it’s just getting sad. the story lines are awful, it’s had a good run now let it die with dignity.

    1. Amen. They could just do a decent movie every couple years. Get out of the organ-grinding, the well is too dry for 16 eps a year or whatever.

  2. Not gonna go for the ol’ “just let it die” comment, but seriously, Homer falling in love with someone else seems incredibly out of character. Developing an attraction seems more likely, as per the Mindy Simmons episode, but there’s no way that Homer would actually fall in love with someone else.
