The makers of “The Simpsons” have discussed potential Disney spinoffs and also confirmed that the Indian character Apu in the animated show will remain.
Homer, Marge and other “The Simpsons” character are now part of the Disney family and made their first appearance at the Mouse House’s D23 Expo convention, where the show’s producers were asked plenty of questions about what the relocation as part of the Disney-Fox merger means for the series, reports variety.com.
The assembled “Simpsons” team spoke about the ever-present question of a second movie outing for the characters, with executive producer Al Jean teasing that they “have talked about it” with Disney, as well as ideas for potential spinoff series.

“Disney would be supportive of anything we wanted to do, maybe a crazy limited series with a side character or a movie that we surprise you with, they’ve been really creatively supportive and this is going to afford so many new ways to do the show than just the traditional format,” added fellow EP Matt Selman.
The panel kicked off with a string of all the Disney-related jokes to appear on the show.
“Isn’t this the craziest thing you could imagine, that we would start out working for an evil corporation and then working for a nice one?” said Selman, perhaps a little tongue in cheek.
