Tampa St. Petersburg, FL, October 20, 2026 —
A trending topic in Tampa-St. Petersburg (Sarasota) discusses Apu’s return to The Simpsons after an absence dating to October 2017, and raises questions about who voices the character now.
The description characterizes the return as happening after nearly a decade. It does not identify the episode or provide a date for Apu’s appearance. It also does not name a new voice actor or clarify whether a casting announcement has been made. As a result, the identity of the performer remains unanswered in the information provided.
The available summary offers no further details about how Apu is presented in the show, what prompted the character’s return, or whether anyone connected with the production has commented. It also does not explain why the topic is trending in the Tampa-St. Petersburg (Sarasota) area. Those points cannot be established from the description alone.
For now, the reported return and the question of a new voice actor are the central elements of the discussion. The summary confirms neither the actor’s name nor additional details about the appearance. Further specifics—including the episode, timing and any official explanation—were not provided.
