The Simpsons is set to return with a new series on September 28, and the first episode, titled “Bart’s Birthday,” is generating a lot of excitement among fans. This episode promises to deliver something that viewers have apparently been waiting for since 1989, hinting at a significant change in the show’s storyline. FOX teased that Bart will experience the most surprising birthday party of his life, one that could potentially alter the dynamic of the entire town of Springfield. This has led to speculation that Bart might finally age, breaking the show’s long-standing tradition of keeping its characters perpetually the same age.
The trailer for the episode doesn’t reveal much, but it shows Bart suspiciously standing outside Moe’s Tavern, feeling that something unusual is happening. Writer and producer Michael Price has also hyped up the episode, calling it “truly epic” and encouraging fans not to miss it. Adding to the excitement, WWE star John Cena is set to make a guest appearance, marking his debut on the show. However, the details of his role remain under wraps.
Fans have taken to social media to express their theories about the upcoming episode, with some hoping for a permanent change in the show’s canon. One fan speculated that Bart might finally turn 11, while another wondered if this episode would bring a lasting change, unlike the temporary plot shifts seen in shows like Family Guy. The anticipation for this episode is high, as many are eager to see if the show will indeed shake up its long-established formula.
In addition to the birthday episode, the new series of The Simpsons will feature two special Halloween-themed episodes. The first, titled Treehouse of Horror XXXV, will include giant monsters created by political rage and a stop-motion adventure called “Denim.” The second, Treehouse of Horror Presents: Simpsons Wicked This Way Comes, will explore three eerie stories set in different timelines, adding to the show’s long tradition of imaginative and spooky Halloween specials.
