The iconic world of Springfield is about to get a Hollywood boost. Lindsay Lohan, a name synonymous with a generation, is stepping into the vibrant universe ofThe Simpsons, lending her voice to a character experiencing a rather significant glow-up.
This isn’t the baby Maggie viewers have always known. The show is leaping forward in time, and Maggie Simpson is now a teenager – a fact Lohan herself excitedly shared with a sneak peek image on social media. She described the opportunity as “a dream come true” to join the legendary animated family.
The upcoming episode, titled “Parahormonal Activity,” promises a chaotic glimpse into the future. Marge finds herself navigating the turbulent waters of teenage hormones, both in her children and, unexpectedly, within herself. Homer, naturally, is left to grapple with the fallout as the last voice of reason.
Lohan’s Maggie isn’t just older; she’s facing a temporary setback. The clip reveals a Maggie battling laryngitis, urgently pleading with her mother to prevent Bart from getting behind the wheel – a request delivered with a surprising level of teenage angst.
For decades, Maggie Simpson’s silence has been a running gag, a delightful subversion of expectations. Her first vocalization, a simple “gaga” in 1987, was a landmark moment. Later, her first official word, “Daddy,” was so captivatingly delivered by Elizabeth Taylor that multiple takes were needed to tone down its perceived allure.
Throughout the show’s history, a select few have been granted the privilege of giving Maggie a voice. From creator Matt Groening himself to acclaimed actresses like Carol Kane and Jodie Foster, each contribution has been a special occasion. Foster’s impassioned speech defending creativity remains a particularly memorable moment.
And for those wondering about a return to the big screen, the Simpsons universe is expanding beyond the small one. After an 18-year wait, Disney has announced a secondSimpsons Movie, slated for release in 2027, finally answering Maggie’s cheeky question from the first film’s credits: “Sequel?”
“Parahormonal Activity” airs this Sunday in the US, promising a hilarious and heartwarming look at the Simpson family’s future, with a captivating new voice adding to the show’s enduring legacy.
