The hour in question will re-imagine The Great Gatsby with a hip-hop bent, while you can see the first footage with star Keegan-Michael Key right now.
The episode will also feature Empire music producer Jim Beanz crafting original hip-hop songs for the episode.
Time will tell if we ever see The Simpsons attempting another theatrical venture, but in the meantime, mid-January will pad Season 28’s runtime a bit with a first-ever hourlong episode.
We’ll see more before the January 15 premiere, but stay tuned for the latest in the meantime.
