The Simpsons: Next Generation (2017-present)
Matt Groening makes a stunning return in this sequel series to the classic show, The Simpsons. After The Simpsons ended in season 8 in 1997, the show has been kept alive through a 2007 film along various comic books and Treehouse of Horror specials, but is now brought back here. The focus is now on the new Simpson patriarch, Bart Simpson, who has moved himself and his children to the house of his sister, Lisa Simpson, as a result of financial crisis. The show focuses on the parallels of the Simpsons' classic time to the new era, with various throwbacks and new developments that capture the Simpsons' charm. In addition, there is a greater emphasis on development of characters and continuity.
The main characters consist of the now 38-year-old Bart Simpson and his sons: Nate and Phil Simpson, aged 10 and 8 respectably along with the 36-year-old Lisa Simpson and her daughter, Camille, who was 6 years old. The three Simpson children take more after their Simpson parents than their other parents (aside from hair color), with Camille being smart like Lisa yet with a Bart-like attitude, Nate trying to be responsible despite not being as smart as his siblings while Phil is a cultural rebel and activist. It also includes Homer and Marge Simpson, still happily married, along with Maggie Simpson, the younger sister of Bart and Lisa who has moved in with them in the middle of Season 1 who is trying to patch things up with them.
It takes place in Springfield, which has become modernized just enough to fit in with the everytown mentality yet still uniquely be Springfield. Many reoccurring characters remain, especially the former children who have become adults. Important reoccurring characters include Milhouse (Bart's former best friend, trying to patch things up), Nelson (an old flame of Lisa), Martin Prince II (Bart's old flatmate) among others, namely Allison Taylor, Lisa's former rival turned best friend and as later revealed, the biological daughter of Ruth Powers. She has started to date Bart in the Season 1 penultimate episode.
The identity of the children's non-Simpson parents remain a mystery though it is implied it is Nelson for Camille and Jessica Lovejoy for Bart's boys.
