Homer and Marge Simpson to go separate ways

It’s not the first time that the Simpsons have faced marital difficulties but this time it appears to be serious as it has emerged that Homer and Marge are to “legally separate” in the new series.

Executive producer Al Jean said the storyline would feature in the show’s 27th season, which is due to premiere in September.

He also told Variety magazine that Homer was to be led astray by a character voiced by Girls star Lena Dunham.
