September 3, 2027 — Springfield’s second theatrical after the July card moved
The Simpsons Movie 2 opens Friday, September 3, 2027. 20th Century Studios posted the doughnut-with-a-2 teaser in September 2025 (“Homer’s coming back for seconds”) on a July 23, 2027 Friday, then slid the sequel to September 3 when Minecraft’s sequel claimed the summer corridor.
That’s roughly two decades after July 27, 2007’s first film. Plot is still TBA. Track Sep 3, 2027 on the 20th Century theatrical card — not leftover July 23 listings.
Confirmed: Sep 3 2027 theatrical sequel — not Jul 23, not a Disney+ short, not “18 years later” math
Confirmed: September 3, 2027 theatrical; 20th Century / Disney; announced Sep 2025; was July 23, 2027; ~20 years after 2007. Not confirmed as a July open anymore, as a day-one Disney+ exclusive, or as a fully published cast/plot package. Fake “Homer dies — first look” stubs invent a corridor.
From the dome over Springfield to a September Friday twenty years later
- Jul 27 2007 — The Simpsons Movie opens; first theatrical feature.
- 2008–24 — series + shorts continue; no dated Movie 2.
- Sep 2025 — 20th Century announces sequel; July 23, 2027 dated.
- Date flip — July 23, 2027 → September 3, 2027 (Minecraft sequel conflict).
- Sep 3 2027 — current U.S. theatrical target; plot still TBA.
Details that keep this off generic “yellow family sequel” templates
- Gap: ~20 years (2007 → 2027), not the “18 years” scrapers still recycle.
- Date story: Jul 23 → Sep 3 after Minecraft Movie sequel claimed summer.
- Announce asset: Homer doughnut “2” sprinkles + Groening-font tagline.
- Form: theatrical feature — ≠ Treehouse of Horror streaming special.
- Cast/plot: expected series voices; formal studio lock + story still thin.
Homer lost July 23, 2027 to a Minecraft sequel — September 3 is the doughnut’s new Friday
The announcement graphic sold July 23, 2027. Then 20th Century moved Simpsons Movie 2 to September 3, 2027 so it wouldn’t collide with Minecraft Movie Squared’s summer lane. Twenty years after the dome movie, Springfield’s second theatrical is a Labor Day–adjacent Friday because another blockbuster sequel needed July.
Honest pages keep Sep 3, kill the July stub, and refuse to sell a Disney+ anniversary short as the cinema SKU.
Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about this release date.
1When does The Simpsons Movie 2 open?
Friday, September 3, 2027 from 20th Century Studios. The first announcement card said July 23, 2027; the studio moved it to September 3 to avoid a Minecraft Movie sequel collision. Buy Sep 3, 2027.
2How long after the first Simpsons Movie is this?
About twenty years. The Simpsons Movie opened July 27, 2007. September 3, 2027 is the first theatrical sequel — not an 18-year gap myth and not another Halloween Treehouse short sold as a feature.
3Who’s voicing Homer and the family?
Press and database listings expect the series regulars — Dan Castellaneta, Julie Kavner, Nancy Cartwright, Yeardley Smith — but treat “full cast locked” blurbs carefully until 20th Century posts a formal lineup. Plot remains TBA.
4Is a Disney+ special the same as Movie 2?
No. Streaming shorts and anniversary specials are separate SKUs. This page tracks the September 3, 2027 theatrical sequel announced with the doughnut-2 graphic — cinema Friday, not a Disney+ dump date.
