During an interview with Collider, it was confirmed that Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg as currently writing an episode of The Simpsons.

Here’s what Seth Rogen had to say:

“We called The Simpsons and asked if we could write an episode. Evan actually met James L Brooks at a party and James said he really liked Superbad, so we thought there’s our in. Maybe we could ask to write a Simpsons.

We went in and pitched them like 5 ideas and surprisingly they hadn’t done some of them. And…yeah…we all sort of settled on one during the meting and then we went out and wrote an outline and they gave us notes on it. Then we re-wrote the outline.”

According to Variety, The Simpsons cast have signed on to a four-year deal which ups their salaries to about $400,000 an episode, up from the mid 300,000 range.

The deal means Dan Castellaneta (Homer), Julie Kavner (Marge), Nancy Cartwright (Bart), Yeardley Smith (Lisa), Hank Azaria (Moe) and Harry Shearer (Mr. Burns) went back to work this morning.

Also, as part of his deal, Dan Castellaneta will be consulting producer on the series and serve as a writer as well as voicing Homer.

Because of the late start, only 20 of the usual 22 episodes will be produced.
