Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie quickly became everyone's favourite cartoon family when the animated show was created by Matt Groening in 1987.
However, conspiracy theorists believe the show has accurately predicted several world events, fearing that the comedy creators have the inside knowledge into secret global plots. Some even say that they think the Simpsons predicted the horrifying events of 9/11.
This theory appears too real ever since Donald Trump first stepped into the White House with the show foretelling this event back in 2000.
And now the show has done it again, with a coronavirus outbreak being predicted as far back as 1993.
In the episode 'Marge in Chains', everyone in Springfield jumps aboard the fresh juice hype and get about ordering some fancy blenders.
However, one of the workers at the factory where the blenders are stocked in Japan gets sick, coughing all over the blenders before shipping them to the US. This then brings an outbreak of Osaka Flu to America.
Most of the people in Springfield end up getting sick, thanks to the spread of the flu, which causes chaos resulting in Marge getting arrested for shoplifting.
Viewers flocked to Twitter to discuss the similarities in the episode compared to reality of what is happening now, with the virus originating in Wuhan, China.
However, the term 'coronavirus' is actually a fairly well-established one. It's an umbrella term for a wide range of viruses that cause everything from the common cold to types of pneumonia.
So it's probable the writers were just referring to the type of illness, rather than a specific outbreak (from the future).
It is believed the new strain of coronavirus was passed to humans at a market in Wuhan that sold live animals and illegal wildlife.
It can spread from person to person via droplets when an infected person breathes out, coughs or sneezes, with an incubation period of one to 14 days.
There are signs it may also be able to spread before symptoms show.
Symptoms include fever, coughing, shortness of breath and breathing difficulties.
Severe cases can cause pneumonia and kidney failure.
