The Simpsons Parodies Black Mirror in New Disney+ Special
Ahead of the Season 38 premiere, The Simpsons is returning to Disney+ for a special episode that lampoons Black Mirror. Check out our exclusive preview of "Yellow Mirror."
The Simpsons is set to release its 38th season on Fox, but fans can get a sneak peek early with a new Disney+ exclusive episode titled "Yellow Mirror." This full-length special parodies Netflix's acclaimed sci-fi anthology series, Black Mirror. "Yellow Mirror" consists of two interconnected stories, both centered around a dystopian technology theme.
The first tale revolves around a defective lamp that unveils a devastating reality about Homer's perception of his world. The second story follows an AI-powered tablet that befriends and manipulates young Maggie Simpson. The episode's official description reads, "The Simpsons struggle to find the light through two dark tales of the curious and bizarre in this Disney+ exclusive."
"Yellow Mirror" is scheduled to premiere on Disney+ on August 26. Additionally, Bart Simpson's voice actress, Nancy Cartwright, has voiced her belief that the long-running series will conclude with Season 40. The show has also recently returned to the popular gaming platform Fortnite, where fans can now collect a Simpsons-inspired John Wick-themed skin.
Furthermore, Matt Groening, the creator of The Simpsons, has expressed optimism about the long-awaited revival of the game "The Simpsons: Hit & Run," stating, "I think the original game is coming back in some form."
