Butte Bozeman, MT, October 23, 2026 —
Apu Nahasapeemapetilon has appeared in a recent Treehouse of Horror episode of The Simpsons, marking the character’s return after nearly a decade of absence. The character is voiced by South Asian American actors Sunil Malhotra and Janina Gavankar.
The summary of the development does not identify the episode’s title or air date, and it does not specify which actor voiced which part of Apu’s appearance. It also gives no further details about the circumstances of the character’s return. Those specifics were not provided.
The reported casting names two new voice actors for Apu: Malhotra and Gavankar. No statements from the actors, the show’s producers or the network were included in the available information. The reason for the character’s nearly decade-long absence was also not stated, so no explanation for that gap can be confirmed from the details provided.
The account identifies the appearance as part of a Treehouse of Horror episode, but does not provide additional information about the episode’s plot or how prominently Apu features in it. It is therefore unclear whether the character appears in a brief segment or plays a larger role. Further details about the episode and the voice performances were not included in the summary.
