"Yellow Mirror" isn't the first Simpsons special to be exclusive to Disney+, but it is notable for being a full-length episode rather than a short in the vein of "The Simpsons in Plusaversary." As the title suggests, this episode acts as a spoof of Netflix's popular sci-fi anthology series Black Mirror. It features two tales linked by a common dystopian technology theme.

Here's the official description for "Yellow Mirror":

A defective lamp reveals a heartbreaking truth about what Homer believes is reality, and an AI-powered tablet befriends and controls Maggie. The Simpsons struggle to find the light through two dark tales of the curious and bizarre in this Disney+ exclusive.

"Yellow Mirror" will premiere on Disney+ on Wednesday, August 26.

In other The Simpsons news, Bart Simpson voice actress Nancy Cartwright believes the series will ultimately end with Season 40 . The show also recently returned to Fortnite, where fans could collect a Simpsons-style John Wick skin .

Fans were also recently given new hope about the long-awaited return of The Simpsons: Hit & Run , with Matt Groening saying, "I think the original game is coming back in some form."
