Confirmed plots and guest stars

  • "Bart's New Friend"[15] is based on a fan script sent in by Judd Apatow in 1990, which is being retooled for airing in season 26.[25] In the episode, Homer goes to a hypnotist and is given the mentality of a ten-year old boy. The hypnotist dies, leaving Homer stuck in the mind of a child. He begins to bond with Bart while in this state, and refuses entry back into the responsibilities of adulthood.[26][27]
  • Matthew Sweet will make a guest appearance in an upcoming episode.[1]
  • Will Forte will make a guest appearance as the King Toot's owner.
