Simpsons Creator Has Something New Up His Sleeve

The mind of Matt Groening just keeps on comin'. Turns out the man behind Futurama and The Simpsons is talking to Netflix about a possible new animated series, Variety reports. Details are unknown, but Netflix is said to be contemplating a 20-episode order over two seasons—"which would certainly help with the lead time required to produce an animated program," says the Hollywood Reporter. Groening hasn't done much TV since Futurama's 15-year run ended in 2013; The Simpsons, meanwhile, keeps chugging at more than 500 episodes. A new Groening show would add to Netflix's stable of animated series, which includes Green Eggs and Ham, BoJack Horseman, and F Is for Family. (More Matt Groening stories.)
