Disney to debut three Simpsons episodes this summer

Three new episodes of the long-running animated series "The Simpsons" will premiere exclusively on Disney this summer, marking a continued shift for the franchise toward streaming platforms. The episodes will not debut on Fox, the show's traditional broadcast home.

The first release is a double episode titled "Extreme Makeover: Homer Edition," scheduled for June 17. In this installment, Homer and Marge's date night is disrupted when Marge discovers Homer left their children unsupervised with only a doorbell camera as a babysitter. Frustrated, a tipsy Marge fantasizes about different versions of her husband. The episode features guest stars Betty Gilpin, with musical guests Laufey and Tegan and Sara.

The second episode, "Simpsley," will stream on July 3. Described as a Simpsons noir parody, it follows penniless con artist Marge Bouvier as she travels to Italy to convince wealthy Seymour Skinner to return home. Her plans are complicated by Skinner's houseguest, Homer Simpsley. The final episode, "Yellow Mirror," a parody of "Black Mirror," arrives on August 26. It involves a defective lamp revealing a shocking truth to Homer and an AI-powered tablet befriending and controlling Maggie.
