Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie are taking a trip to the Multiverse. 

鈥淭he Simpsons鈥 and Meow Wolf have teamed up to create a 鈥淢eow Wolf-ified鈥 extended opening sequence for the long-running show. The opening will debut on 鈥淓xtreme Makeover: Homer Edition,鈥 a double episode premiering Wednesday on Disney+.

鈥淕etting the opportunity to be part of the show that has warped our minds since we were kids is a huge honor and an experience we will never forget,鈥 Emily Montoya, co-founder of Meow Wolf and creative director of 鈥淥mega Mart,鈥 said in a press release.

Meow Wolf worked with Matt Selman, showrunner and executive producer of 鈥淭he Simpsons,鈥 and his team. Montoya said it was fantastic, and Selman and his team supported all the crazy ideas that became the final form.

鈥淢eow Wolf started out as a DIY art collective, building installations out of junk scavenged from dumpsters, donated buckets of paint and massive amounts of cardboard,鈥 Montoya said. 鈥淭his project allowed us to get back to those roots and we had a blast revisiting our chaotic improvisational style of collaborative art making.鈥

Selman said he has been a fan of Meow Wolf since spending hours lost in 鈥淥mega Mart,鈥 which is located in Las Vegas, Nevada.

鈥淎fter losing myself for many, many, many more hours in the Santa Fe and Denver Meow Wolf installations, I dreamed of trying to steal some of their artist-driven conceptual genius for 鈥楾he Simpsons,鈥欌 he said in a news release.

The opening will include Easter eggs from various locations and a tribute to Meow Wolf鈥檚 late co-founder Matt King. It does not stay confined to the world of 鈥淭he Simpsons鈥 but bursts into the physical world for the iconic couch scene.

鈥淭he brilliant minds at Meow Wolf reimagined the 鈥榗ouch gag鈥 in a way that only they could 鈥 delivering the silliness and surreality and homemade outsider sensibility that has blown so many minds,鈥 Selman said.
