The Simpsons 2 (also known as The Simpsons Movie 2) is the upcoming sequel to 2007's The Simpsons Movie, and would be the second feature film adaptation of The Simpsons and is planned to be released on September 3, 2027.

Description

For over a decade, it has been stated that there might be a sequel, but not while the series is still in production. The purchase of a large part of Fox's entertainment chain by Disney revealed that the staff is planning a sequel.

The chalkboard gag for the first post-movie episode, "He Loves to Fly and He D'ohs" was "I will not wait 20 years to make another movie", bringing speculation that the movie may be released in 2027 due to the contradictive nature of chalkboard gags. The joke eventually came full circle when the movie was announced to release in 2027.

In 2014, James L. Brooks stated that he had been approached by Fox, who requested a second film. He added that there were no immediate plans, stating, "We've been asked to [develop it], but we haven't. We're doing a lot of other stuff."

In December 2014, prior to the broadcast of the episode "The Man Who Came to Be Dinner," Al Jean wrote on Twitter that the episode (which had been produced in 2012 and was originally set to air in May 2013) had been held back by himself and Brooks because it was being considered for adaptation into a sequel film, due to its "cinematic" nature. Jean later expanded that there was the fear of the potential film being considered "not canonical" with the TV series, and the potential backlash of resolving such conflicts with the "memory wipe" trope.

In July 2017, Silverman and Jean said that the sequel was in the early stages of development and stressed the toll the first film's production took on the entire staff. On August 10, 2018, it was reported that a sequel to The Simpsons Movie was in development. However, the project seemed to have been shelved for a while as it was not mentioned again.

On July 22, 2019, Groening stated that he has "no doubts" that Disney will likely produce a sequel one day. Additionally, on August 24, 2019, Al Jean said that they have talked about a sequel with Disney. In July 2021, Jean stated that discussions for the potential sequel had temporarily stalled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

On September 29, 2025, 20th Century Studios revealed on X a teaser poster for the film, which originally slated for a theatrical release date on July 23, 2027, but was later delayed to September 3 to avoid competition with the upcoming Minecraft Movie sequel.
