"The Simpsons" creator Matt Groening revealed that even though the movie earned almost $530 million in worldwide ticket sales on $75 million budget, there are currently no plans to develop a sequel.
"It took 18 years to get around to doing the movie," he said. "We got very frustrated. We thought it would take two years but it ended up taking four. Some day maybe we'll do another one -- but don't hold your breath."
Groening added that the problem was bringing writers on board for the movie and still keep the show going at the same time. During many interviews, he felt that everyone was overworked and he cannot imagine doing something like that again.
The current season of "The Simpsons" is the 21st and the show has already been renewed for two additional seasons. "We cannot predict the end because we can't believe we are still here today," explained Groening.
