I've been told that i watch too much TV series and whats your business? But i do sha. Some might say its unhealthy, But what else I'm I supposed to do? I don't like participating in real life. Anyways, The other day it was "Bart Simpson" today it's "Homer and Marge Simpson". Is this a sign? Is the TV series coming to an end? I hope not!
Homer and
Marge are one of TV's longstanding couples, sticking it out for over 26
seasons now - the series has been on since 1989.
However, in an interview with Variety,
the series' executive producer Al Jean has revealed that the animated
couple are headed for a split in the upcoming 27th season, set to begin
this fall.
'It’s
discovered after all the years Homer has narcolepsy - a chronic
neurological disorder that affects the control of sleep, causing
uncontrollable episodes of falling asleep, even during activities that
demand attention - and it’s an incredible strain on the marriage,' he
spilled.
However, the narcolepsy isn't the only thing to blame, as the EP shared that Homer has his eyes on another woman.
The
new apple of Homer's eye will be one of the upcoming season's many
guest stars, and is coming off of another guest stint, on popular ABC
series Scandal.
'Homer
and Marge legally separate, and Homer falls in love with his
pharmacist, who’s voiced by Lena Dunham,' Al shared, adding: 'We’ll have
cameos from the other women from Girls.'
Previously,
Homer had considered cheating on his longtime spouse in a season five
episode titled The Last Temptation of Homer, which first aired in 1993.
The
cartoon dad went so far as to visit a hotel room with new coworker
Mindy (voiced by Michelle Pfeiffer), though he was plagued with guilt
because of Marge and the kids, and eventually called it off, reuniting
with his loving wife.
Saturday
Night Live's Kate McKinnon will also make a guest appearance on the
season, as 'a homeless woman who turns out to be an incredible singer.'
She will be befriended by Lisa in one episode, in which the singing will be performed by Natalie Maines.
But
hope you didn't put away those tissues, because in more bad news, the
EP revealed that Sideshow Bob will also make an appearance, in which 'we
finally see him do something he's (click to read)wanted to do for 25 years.
On a lighter note, Al also shared that
Spider Pig - akak Plopper, Homer's pal from The Simpsons Movie - is set
to make his return in an upcoming episode.
And there
will be a Bart-centric episode based on the Oscar-nominated film
Boyhood, which will feature a flashback/flash forward motif.
Al explained: 'We go to various points in his life and his life to come which I think came out really well.'
The EP also discussed the upcoming election, speaking on whether or not the popular cartoon dad would be casting his vote.
'We’re
definitely going to have Homer vote in 2016,' he gushed. 'One aspect of
the pickup that made me happy is that Homer can vote again.'
'He voted
for Romney in 2012 because he invented Obamacare. He tried to vote for
Obama in 2008 but all his votes went to McCain.'
When
asked for hints about the upcoming vote, Al teased: 'We’re not sure who
the candidates are yet, but whatever he wants it’s not going to
happen.'
The 27th season of The Simpsons premieres this fall on Fox.
