Springfield’s best and brightest (or, should we say, yellowest) will be making their way to Anaheim this August when The Simpsons comes to D23 Expo for the first time ever.  The longest-running primetime scripted show in television history, cast and creatives will be talking all about the upcoming season in a panel on Saturday, August 24, at 10 a.m. in the D23 Expo Arena.

While the full schedule has not been announced for the expo, which is the largest gathering of Disney fans from all over the world, the large Hall D23 panels were recently revealed as well.
