The Simpsons has never met a pop culture moment it could not skewer, and now Springfield is taking on one of the most talked-about anthology series on television. Disney+ has dropped a trailer for “Yellow Mirror,” a brand new Simpsons special that puts the family’s signature satirical spin on Netflix’s tech-horror hit Black Mirror, and it is available to stream on Disney+ right now.
The special features two twisted tales centered on technology gone wrong, very much in the spirit of what Black Mirror does best. In the first story, Maggie Simpson finds herself at the mercy of an AI-powered tablet that befriends her and then slowly begins to control her, which honestly sounds terrifying in the most Simpsons-appropriate way possible. The second story takes a wilder turn by following a younger version of Homer Simpson who starts questioning whether his own reality is even real. The tagline for the special says it all: “Anything can happen in the Yellow Mirror.”
For a show currently in its 37th season with over 800 episodes under its belt, The Simpsons has always had a gift for pop culture parody, having previously taken on everything from Death Note and Westworld to Game of Thrones and The LEGO Movie. “Yellow Mirror” feels right at home in that tradition. What makes this one a little different is that it is a Disney+ exclusive rather than a Fox broadcast special, which continues the trend of Disney+ using The Simpsons to deliver unique content for its subscribers. And with The Simpsons Season 38 coming in September 2026 and The Simpsons Movie 2 on the horizon for September 2027, it is a great time to be a Simpsons fan.
“Yellow Mirror” is streaming on Disney+ now. Have you watched it yet? Let us know what you think in the comments!
