The Simpsons has found a new voice actor for Bart's lovably nerdy sidekick Milhouse Van Houten, with singer Kelly MacLeod taking on the role that was vacated by recently retired Simpsons voice actor emeritus Pamela Hayden, as announced via Entertainment Weekly.

MacLeod will debut as Milhouse in the season 36 finale 'Estranger Things' in which she briefly voices the long running supporting character in a flash-forward scene where he appears as an adult alongside older versions of Bart and Lisa. She's only got one line, and since Milhouse will appear as an adult, it'll offer just an indication of what her regular performance as the character will sound like.

"When Bart & Lisa stop watching Itchy & Scratchy together, Marge fears that they’ll start to drift apart... but she has no idea how bad things are about to get!" reads the episode's brief synopsis.

I've been Newsarama's resident Marvel Comics expert and general comic book historian since 2011, and now I'm the Entertainment Writer at GamesRadar+. I've also been the on-site reporter at most major comic conventions such as Comic-Con International: San Diego, New York Comic Con, and C2E2. Outside of comic journalism, I am the artist of many weird pictures, and the guitarist of many heavy riffs. (They/Them)
