Get ready to be spooked!
The Simpson execs have made a very chilling scheduling decision — next year’s “Treehouse of Horror XXX will be episode 666 of the animated series.
The annual Halloween special episode will coincidentally be the 666th episode that the series has aired over its three-decade run. It’s the longest-running prime-time scripted entertainment series ever, and while it still hasn’t been renewed for its 31st season, we know that The Simpsons will outlive us all!
Executive producer Al Jean tells Entertainment Weekly that Sunday’s “Treehouse of Horror XXIX,” will pull gags from Jurassic Park, Invasion of the Body Snatchers and The Three Faces of Eve. And in the opening of the episode, “Cthulhu, the ancient creature of the sea, gets into an eating contest with Homer,” Jean also told EW. “I’ll leave you to guess who might win,” he added.
All signs point to a renewal of course — “I’d like to do more seasons, just to ensure that that doesn’t cause the end of the world,” quipped Jean.
