"Simpsons Predicted: Coronavirus, Murder Hornets Among 14 Future Events"

Every now and then, reality seems to take a page from fiction—especially from the long-running animated series The Simpsons. Over its 31 seasons and more than 600 episodes, the show has delivered not just laughs, but an uncanny number of predictions that later came true. From political upsets to technological advancements, the creators of this iconic Fox sitcom have occasionally hit the mark in ways that feel almost prophetic.

One of the most striking examples comes from a Season 4 episode that eerily foreshadowed both the global COVID-19 pandemic and the emergence of the so-called "murder hornets"—a bizarre but real phenomenon that made headlines years after the episode aired. It’s moments like these that prompt fans to exclaim, “The Simpsons did it!” when faced with surreal real-world events.

As the series continued to unfold, so did its track record of strange foresight. Below are some of the most notable instances where The Simpsons seemed to predict the future with surprising accuracy.
