J.J. Abrams Guest-Stars On This Sunday’s Episode Of “The Simpsons”
Last week’s episode of The Simpsons featured the writing efforts of a daughter/father duo that featured a heart-warming personal history recounted by the daughter who made her debut on the longest running animated series in primetime.
Now looking forward, this Sunday’s episode (written by Michael Price) is called “Do Pizza Bots Dream of Electric Guitars” and it features J.J. Abrams (Star Wars three-quel trilogy) as a guest star. In it, Homer tries to reunite his favourite band from his youth, but film and TV creator J.J. Abrams gets to them first. The Simpsons season 32 finale has been announced for May 23rd @ 8pm ET. This will most likely be J.J. Abrams’ last work with Disney as the director recently signed an overall deal with rival studio Warner Bros. to produce a slew of feature-length films including the likes of Superman, Justice League: Dark, and more.

"There are also other characters that come and go (also owned by the Warner Bros. Discovery conglomerate media company)."
Huh. Is that just referring to other characters from the show itself, or is this implying that the new season is going to have cameos from other WBD IPs
