Another A-lister has been tapped to guest star in season 31 of the animated series.
Olivia Colman, who won an Academy Award for her role in The Favourite and who is set to star as Queen Elizabeth in the forthcoming season of The Crown, is heading to The Simpsons.
Entertainment Weekly confirms that Colman has joined the stellar roster of guest appearances on the animated series, which includes John Legend, Chrissy Teigen, Jason Momoa, Bob Odenkirk, John Mulaney, and Jane Goodall.
The news was first announced by executive producer James L. Brooks who tweeted Friday: “Just this second came from recording one of the best guest appearances in Simpson’s history. No kidding, I am flying.”
He added that Colman has lent her voice to “the most down home femme fatal ever who attracts every man she’s ever met but falls hard, harder than she ever imagined, for Homer Simpson.”
TV’s longest-running animated series returns for its 31st season September 29th.
