The Weeknd is set to appear in a forthcoming episode of The Simpsons. He’ll guest star in “Bart the Cool Kid,” which also features Michael Rapaport. The episode is about Homer rallying local dads in rebellion against a child skate-wear influencer, according to Fox. “Bart the Cool Kid” airs on Sunday, March 20 at 8 p.m. Eastern.
The Weeknd previously co-wrote and appeared as a version of himself in a 2020 episode of American Dad, for which he also co-wrote the original new song “I’m a Virgin.” In an interview with Variety about his American Dad spot, he said working on The Simpsons was a “bucket list” item, adding, “I actually have a pretty cool idea if they’re down.”
Later this year, The Weeknd will tour North America in support of January’s Dawn FM. He released a visual counterpart, The Weeknd x The Dawn FM Experience, on Amazon Prime Video at the end of February.
