Season 32 of The Simpsons is airing in the US this month, and the latest episode features a reference to Brexit.
New episode The 7 Beer Itch, which premiered on Fox on November 8, features Olivia Colman as a character called Lily, who moves to Springfield and falls in love with Homer.
Continuing the British theme of the new episode, the credits for the show also feature a scene set outside a British pub called ‘The Brexiting Swan’. See the image (via Reddit) below.
