As part of Comic Con @ Home, the creative team behind THE SIMPSONS took part in a panel, sharing clips from the upcoming 32nd season of the animated series.

During the panel, members also discussed some of the guest stars who will take part in the new season, including Ben Platt, Hannibal Buress and Michael Palin.

They join the previously announced David Harbour, who will voice an alternate version of Mr. Burns, and Olivia Colman, who will voice a femme fatale.

The Zoom panel consisted of executive producer Al Jean, executive producer Matt Selman, producer-director David Silverman, Emmy-winning writer Carolyn Omine and supervising animation director Mike B. Anderson. Yeardley Smith, THE VOICE of Lisa Simpson, served as moderator.
