The Simpsons Movie 2 is the next sequel of The Simpsons Movie and second feature film adaptation of The Simpsons. It has been stated there might be a sequel but not while the series is still in production. Recently, the purchase of a large part of Fox's entertainment chain by Disney revealed that they are working on a sequel to The Simpsons. A release date is yet to be confirmed and production has not yet been announced.
In 2014, James L. Brooks stated that he had been approached by Fox and that they had requested a second film. He added that there were no immediate plans, stating, "We've been asked to [develop it], but we haven't. We're doing a lot of other stuff."
In December 2014, just prior to the broadcast of the episode "The Man Who Came to Be Dinner," Al Jean wrote on Twitter that the episode (which had been produced in 2012 and was originally set to air in 2013) had been held back by he and Brooks because it was being considered for adaptation into a sequel film as the episode was "cinematic". Jean later expanded that there was the fear of the potential film being considered "not canonical" with the TV series and the potential backlash of overcoming it by using a "memory wipe."
In July 2017, Silverman and Jean said that the sequel was in the early stages of development and stressed the toll production of the first picture took on the entire staff. On August 10, 2018, it was reported that a sequel to The Simpsons Movie is in development.
On July 22, 2019, Groening stated that he has "no doubts" that Disney will likely produce a sequel one day.
On August 24, 2019 Al Jean said that they have talked about a Sequel with Disney.
