“The Favourite” actress Olivia Colman will be voicing a guest character in an upcoming episode of “The Simpsons,” the cartoon’s executive producer James L. Brooks tweeted Friday.

“Just this second came from recording one of the best guest appearances in Simpson’s history. No kidding, I am flying,” Brooks said in the tweet. “Olivia Coleman playing the most down home femme fatale ever who attracts every man she’s ever met but falls hard, harder than she ever imagined, for Homer Simpson.”

Colman will voice a character named “Lily” in an episode titled “The 7 Beer Itch” that will air next spring, a Fox spokesperson told TheWrap.

The long-running sitcom was renewed for seasons 31 and 32 in February, which will bring it well past 700 episodes.
