News From “The Simpsons”: New Short With Billie Eilish Announced ; Nike Shoes

We told you earlier this month that executive producer for The Simpsons, Al Jean, was teasing a new short inspired by the series heading to Disney+ by the end of the month.

Well, today, Billie Eilish revealed on social media that she will appear alongside “The Simpsons” family in the upcoming short titled “When Billie Met Lisa.” The all-new short, featuring OSCAR and GRAMMY Award-winning artists Billie Eilish and FINNEAS, will premiere Friday, April 22, exclusively on Disney+.

In “When Billie Met Lisa,” Lisa Simpson is discovered by chart-topping artists Billie Eilish and FINNEAS while searching for a quiet place to practice her saxophone. Billie invites Lisa to her studio for a special jam session she’ll never forget.

This upcoming release from “The Simpsons” is the fourth in a collection of shorts created exclusively for Disney+ that highlight the service’s marquee brands and most popular content. The previously released Star Wars and Marvel-themed shorts “Maggie Simpson in ‘The Force Awakens from Its Nap’” and “The Good, The Bart, and The Loki” are currently available on Disney+. The most recent short “The Simpsons in Plusaversary” was released on November 12, 2021 in celebration of Disney+ Day. All of these and more can be found in “The Simpsons” collection on the streaming service.
