The Simpsons Movie 2 is moving forward again and plans for the long waited sequel are now getting stronger.
According to Variety, the film will receive about 21.9 million dollars in tax credits from the California Film Commission.
This is part of a new support program in California that now also includes animated films for the first time.
This is a big change because earlier animated projects were not included in this kind of support, even though California has a strong animation industry.
The aim of this update is to keep big film projects in the state, especially as other places are also offering money support to attract productions.
The first The Simpsons Movie was a huge global hit and made over 500 million dollars worldwide.
However, the sequel is now planned for release in 2027 and is expected to continue the story from the original film.
People in the industry say this shows animation is becoming more important in Hollywood, with studios focusing more on big animated projects.
With this support in place, the sequel is now in a better position and moving ahead, bringing back interest in the return of the franchise.
