Fox has released the first trailer for The Simpsons season 35 ahead of its premiere on October 1. There's a lot of footage featured throughout this sneak peek, including the return of Sideshow Bob and the apparent destruction of the titular family's home!
We also see Homer take on a very different role as a school crossing guard after he's left feeling worthless at work. However, "when his safety squad receives too much funding, the crossing guards become a force to be feared in the all-new 'Homer’s Crossing' episode of 'The Simpsons.'"
While many longtime fans of The Simpsons feel the show has lost some of its charm in recent years, it remains incredibly popular and shows no signs of slowing down. It's still fun to spend time with these characters but a little perplexing Disney hasn't chosen to move forward with a new movie.
The Simpsons was renewed for seasons 35 and 36 back in January, officially making it the longest-running scripted primetime series in television history.
"This season, Marge experiences a series of nightmares about young Bart's childhood coming to an end," reads the series synopsis. "Homer accidentally volunteers for a school crossing guard position; sixty years in the future, Lisa recounts the story of how Homer was scapegoated for a power outage that plunged Springfield into darkness days before Thanksgiving; and the annual chilling trilogy “Treehouse of Horror XXXIV” is back!"
The beloved animated series focuses on the eponymous family in the town of Springfield in an unnamed U.S. state. The head of the Simpson family, Homer, is not a typical family man. A nuclear-plant employee, he does his best to lead his family but often finds that they are leading him.
The family includes loving, blue-haired matriarch Marge, troublemaking son Bart, overachieving daughter Lisa and baby Maggie. Other Springfield residents include the family's religious neighbor, Ned Flanders, family physician Dr. Hibbert, Moe the bartender and police chief Clancy Wiggum.
The Simpsons is currently streaming on Disney+ and Hulu, while Season 35 will premiere on Fox on October 1.
