The Simpsons creator Matt Groening linked to Netflix

January 17, 2016 | 2 min read

Matt Groening is rumoured to be in talks with online streaming service Netflix about producing a new animated series,which would be only his second show since launching the Springfield-based show in 1989.

Industry observers argue that the likelihood of increased creative control over any such Netflix-produced title (as opposed to US TV networks where such liberties are not always guaranteed) would peak Groening's interest.

Any such deal would mean Groening joins the ranks of Woody Allen and Kevin Spacey in putting their names to Netflix-original series, with the online streaming service having already produced standout animated series such as Bojack Horseman.
