See Lena Dunham Guest Star as a Homewrecker in The Simpsons Premiere

In the new season, Homer has been diagnosed with narcolepsy, a condition characterized by an extreme tendency to fall asleep whenever in relaxing surroundings. Courtest of Lena Dunham’s Instagram.

The 29-year-old “Girls” star will play Candace, a young pharmacist who Homer falls in love with after she helps treat his narcolepsy, reported Female First.

Also this season Patty and Selma quit smoking; Homer loses $5,000 in a poker game and loans Lisa out to repay the debt; and the Simpsons’ home gets robbed.

She captioned a shot from the animation TV series, “Meanwhile, I have the tremendous/horrendous fortune of waking up next to Homer this Sunday on The Simpsons #homewrecker (sic)”.

While this does seem similar to other crises that Marge and Homer have seen and dealt with over the years, “Simpsons’ executive producer Al Jean has confirmed that it will be different from what everyone has seen before”.

Candace, however, will not be the only new character showing up on season 27 of the long-running franchise.

“Modern Family” star Sofia Vergara will voice Bart’s new teacher, who becomes the object of a crush by the boy.

Jean has stated that Mrs. Berrera has not been cast as a substitute teacher, and that they are testing out how Vergara works for the role.

“We did a lot of shows about Homer and Marge being married and about the problems that come (with it), but what we haven’t done is Marge saying, ‘That’s it, I’ve had it, I’m getting a separation”, Jean said.

Jean also hinted that Sideshow Bob may succeed in killing Bart this season.

The premiere episode of “The Simpsons” Season 27 showcases that Homer tries to date Candace who is a pharmacist. The video shows Candace chatting to her friends about Homer and what she finds interesting in him. Read only if you wish to know more about the instalment.
