20 Announced Movie Sequels That Are FINALLY Happening
15. The Simpsons Movie 2
2007's The Simpsons Movie was a massive box office success, grossing more than $500 million worldwide, and so many assumed that a sequel would enter production in short order.
But it simply didn't happen, with co-creator James L. Brooks later explaining that work on The Simpsons TV series made it challenging to also develop another movie.
A sequel was repeatedly said to be in some stage of gestation throughout the 2010s, though the pandemic further stalled development, and as the years wore on most fans simply gave up hope of it ever coming out.
So the world certainly didn't expect 20th Century Studios to announce The Simpsons Movie 2 last September, with a release date now set for September 3, 2027 - just over 20 years after the first movie was released.
We know absolutely nothing about the plot, but honestly, isn't the news that it's definitely 100% coming more than enough for now?
