The Simpsons have incorporated a parody of The White Lotus’ opening credits in a new episode.The nod to the Emmy-winning HBO series comes as the iconic Springfield family are back on screens, kicking off the 36th season.Starting last Sunday (September 29) with an episode that was dubbed the “series finale”, the new season already gripped fans’ attention with the return of Conan O’Brien to the show. O’Brien formerly helped write some of the fan-favourite episodes in earlier seasons.Now, the upcoming episode set for this weekend is certain to get the fanbase of another series talking too, as it comes as a parody of Mike White’s hit show The White Lotus.According to a description of the plot shared by Variety, the episode sees the Simpson family travel to “The Yellow Lotus”, where they “encounter death on vacation at a high-end resort.”Not only is the premise a nod to the award-winning HBO drama – which first aired in 2021 and has already had two seasons – but the opening credits also come as a parody to those of the original series.Written and sung by Kara Talve, who has also composed for The Tattooist of Auschwitz and Faraway Downs, The Simpsons’ intro comes more inspired by the intro to season two of The White Lotus.
