The Simpsons is set to premiere its latest exclusive episode on Disney+, a full-length special titled "Yellow Mirror" that parodies Netflix's Black Mirror. The episode features two interconnected tales centered around dystopian technology.
According to the official description, "Yellow Mirror" will present a story where a defective lamp reveals a heartbreaking truth about Homer's perceived reality, while an AI-powered tablet befriends and subsequently controls Maggie. The synopsis promises that "The Simpsons struggle to find the light through two dark tales of the curious and bizarre in this Disney+ exclusive."
The special episode "Yellow Mirror" is scheduled to debut on Disney+ on Wednesday, August 26.
This marks the latest in a series of Simpsons specials exclusive to Disney+, following in the vein of "The Simpsons in Plusaversary."
