It’s now been almost a month since “The Simpsons” aired this year’s “Treehouse of Horror” Halloween special, but that doesn’t mean the family is done with getting dark for the year.
Variety reports that an upcoming episode of the long-running animated series will be paying tribute to/spoofing the “Fargo” television series, and it’s titled “A Serious Flanders.”
The tale, described as being “dark and twisted” by the show’s executive producer, is actually a two-parter, and it’s a spoof not only of “Fargo” but of dark, prestige television in general.
Here’s everything you need to know…
Part One – November 7th: “When a ruthless debt collector comes to Springfield, Homer and Ned’s lives are sucked into the artfully violent world of prestige TV.”
Part Two – November 14th: “Uff-da! Things for Ned and Homer go from bad to gosh-darn worse in the stunning conclusion of this SIMPFLIX prestige crime thriller.”
