“The Simpsons” showrunner Matt Selman teased how the animated family sitcom can seemingly “predict the future” in their episodes and anticipates revealing all in Season 34.
“It’s a conceptual episode with lots of crazy stuff in it, but it does an explanation of how ‘The Simpsons’ can predict the future,” Selman told Deadline in an interview.
The hit series has been running for 33 seasons and has predicted major events in the past such as Donald Trump running for president, the coronavirus pandemic, Lady Gaga’s Super Bowl Halftime show and more.
Since “The Simpsons” has aired for more than three decades on FOX, Selman — who is also a writer and executive producer on the sitcom — said pushing out fresh content for the series is the “greatest creative challenge” for the writing team.
