Homer and Marge are set to legally separate in the show’s 27th season, which is due to premiere in September. Executive procedure Al Jean said that the new season will see Homer being led astray by a character voiced by Girls star, Lena Dunham. 

 

"In the premiere, it's discovered after all the years, Homer has narcolepsy and it's an incredible strain on the marriage," he said.

 

"Homer and Marge legally separate, and Homer falls in love with his pharmacist, who's voiced by Lena Dunham."

 

Fans of the show reacted with anger and despair. 

 

However, Bart seemed to be determine to stop the rumours of his parents breaking up. In an image tweeted by The Simpsons, Bart was in school classroom writing repeatedly on the blackboard: “Homer and Marge are not breaking up.” 

 

The tweet read: “RT and stop the rumours!”
