REUTERS / Nacho Doce LOS ANGELES ( Reuters ) - The creators of satirical animated series “ The Simpsons  ” who once eerily predicted Donald Trump would become U . S . president   cannot keep pace with the comedy he is now inspiring and have decided instead to take family back to medieval times . Bumbling Homer   housewife Marge   troublemaker Bart   prodigy Lisa and baby Maggie   who have captured the changing face of America over 28 years   become “ The Serfsons ” in the season 29 premiere on Fox ( FOXA . O ) on Sunday . In 2000   “ The Simpsons ” joked in an episode titled “ Bart to the Future ” that  Trump  would enter the White House and said  his  presidency would ruin the economy . But executive producer Matt Selman said the show   which takes more than a year to produce each season   cannot keep up with jokes about  Trump  since he won the 2016 election . “ There ’ s a massive industry of nothing but  Trump  comedy  ” he said in an interview . “ We can ’ t beat them to the punch . We can only show how Trump ’ s America has sadly seeped its way into Springfield .” For the new series   the family live in a feudal medieval society where goblins   ogres and dragons exist   8 - year - old Lisa Simpson can do magic and Nikolaj Coster - Waldau from “ Game of Thrones ” plays Marge ’ s horny twin brother . “ The Serfsons ” includes references to an array of fantasy tales   from “ Game of Thrones ” and “ Lord of the Rings ” to “ Conan the Barbarian .” “ In all fantasy   there ’ s always analogy to the modern world  ” writer - producer Brian Kelley said . In one episode   Marge ’ s aging mother Mrs . Bouvier is slowly turned to ice and Homer and Marge try to find an alternate cure when they fail to get enough money for healthcare . “ While we were writing it   the world became much more horrifying   scary and evil  ” Selman said . “ Wealth and equality and the 1 percent and healthcare - we just wrote those because we thought these were eternal issues   and then they turned into terrifying issues  ” he added . “ The Simpsons ” is the longest - running comedy on U . S . television and will break another record in its 29th season with the most episodes for a scripted show . Season 29 will have guests stars such as Martin Short   singer Ed Sheeran and author Neil Gaiman in a Halloween episode inspired by his works including “ Coraline .” ( This version of the story corrects paragraph 4 to drop “ daily ”  The Simpsons is a weekly show )
