Daniel Radcliffe will return to the iconic town of Springfield, U.S.A., in a fresh guest-starring appearance on The Simpsons. He voices Diggs, an older kid who forms a bond with Bart, adding a new dynamic to the show’s long-running ensemble. Al Jean, the series’ producer, describes Diggs as a blend of several familiar archetypes: Holden Caulfield from The Catcher in the Rye, Finny from A Separate Peace, and the kids from Lord of the Flies, though with a twist that tilts toward a more unsettled edge. This description hints at the character delivering a mix of wit, irreverence, and moments that spark reflection alongside laughs. Radcliffe has previously lent his voice to the show during Treehouse of Horror XXI, where he played Dracula’s son in a playful yet eerie vignette. Now he will join a parade of A-list guests as The Simpsons moves into its 25th season with episodes this fall, continuing a tradition of high-profile celebrity cameos that broaden the show’s cultural reach and keep Springfield lively.
