The Simpsons Will Bring Back Classic Character in New Season
----- ADS-----
The Simpsons are set to return this fall, proving that Spingfield’s finest family still has plenty of gas in the tank. With this next season marking the thirty-sixth outing for Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie, the clan won’t be alone for the upcoming episodes. Recently, at San Diego Comic-Con, several surprising guest stars were announced in Conan O’Brien, John Cena, and Tom Hanks. Another major name is Danny Devito, the movie star and actor who brings to life Frank Reynolds of It’s Always Sunny in Philidelphia, who not only makes an appearance but will return to a classic role.
Warning. Be forewarned that we’ll be diving into spoiler territory for the upcoming season of The Simpsons, so if you don’t want to be spoiled, turn back now. In a recent podcast with The Simpsons writer and producer Michael Price, it was revealed that Devito will be taking on a role he had previously played in the series. Devito had previously taken on the role of Herb Powell, Homer’s long-lost brother in the series’s second season. Unlike Homer, Herb didn’t work in a Nuclear Power Plant but rather, ran his own automotive company in “Powell Motors”. Unfortunately, he was financially ruined once he allowed his brother Homer to create his own car, the disastrously designed “The Homer”.
Homer’s brother would make one or two returns to the series but it’s been decades since Herb played a part in the beloved animated series. It will be interesting to see how Powell interacts with the Simpson family after being away from Springfield for so long.
