Olivia Colman has landed her next big role - in The Simpsons.
In a slightly unexpected move, the Fleabag actress will star as ‘femme fatale’ out to seduce Homer Simpson.
And, unsurprisingly, it’s already been branded as ‘one of the best guest appearances in Simpson's history{
Confirming the role, the show's executive producer James L. Brooks tweeted on Friday, ‘Just this second came from recording one of the best guest appearances in Simpson's history.
‘No kidding, I am flying. Olivia Colman playing the most down-home femme fatal ever who attracts every man she's ever met but falls hard, harder than she ever imagined, for Homer Simpson.’
