Olivia Colman (The Favourite) is set for a return to the small screen, albeit in animated form, with executive producer James L. Brooks revealing on Twitter that the Oscar-winning actress is heading to Springfield for a guest spot on The Simpsons.
“Just this second came from recording one of the best guest appearances in Simpson’s history,” wrote Brooks. “No kidding, I am flying. Olivia Coleman [sic] playing the most down home femme fatal ever who attracts every man she’s ever met but falls hard, harder than she ever imagined, for Homer Simpson.”
