The Simpsons hasn’t finished its 2019 foray into the world of horror, it seems! The annual Treehouse Of Horror instalment may be a distant October memory, but a thanksgiving episode of the long-running animated series will this month play host to both a Black Mirror-themed episode and its creator, Charlie Brooker.
Thanksgiving Of Horror will air in the US this coming Sunday, after The Simpsons‘ executive producer Matt Selman publicly invited Brooker to lend his voice to a Black Mirror episode that was already in the works.
Selman described The Simpsons team as “super fans” of Netflix’s future tech series.
Realistically, the earliest we’ll be able to see the episode in the UK is in 2020, either on Channel 4 or Disney+. Disney+ is now streaming the entire Simpsons back catalogue stateside, and the episode in which Brooker appears will soon join the ranks. Disney’s streaming service won’t launch here until March, due to a string of yet-to-expire UK licensing deals and rights. When it finally arrives, it’s been confirmed that Disney+ will fully replace the DisneyLife app from March onward.
More Black Mirror news soon.
