The producer also revealed that Homer is diagnosed with narcolepsy, which is another reason why the long-time couple would separate.

Meanwhile, the producer teased fans on what else is in-store for them in season 27. "In another episode, Spider Pig makes his return. Sideshow Bob appears in a segment, and we finally see him do something he's wanted to do for 25 years. And we have an episode based on the film 'Boyhood.' It's a flashback/flash forward about Bart. We go to various points in his life and his life to come which I think came out really well," Jean said.

Jean also hinted that Sideshow Bob may succeed in killing Bart this season. In his interview with Entertainment Weekly, he said that Bart's long-time foe will finally get his hands on Bart. "I'm one of those people that always wanted the Coyote to eat the Road Runner," Jean teased

Meanwhile, fans of Ned Flanders, Mr. Burns, and Principal Skinner can still hear Harry Shearer's voice in the characters. The voice actor agreed to stay on the show, provided that he gets "the same terms as the other primaries."

"The Simpsons" will be back this Sept. 27 on Fox.
