Netflix is joining forces with the creator of "The Simpsons" and "Futurama," Matt Groening, to come up with and release an animated series down the road, according to a report.

Variety initially reported the news on Friday, saying that Groening has already entered in talks with Netflix.

Apart from, of course, handling the writing duties, not much is known yet about Groening's new project.

Speculations are rife that "The Simpsons" creator could be working on two seasons of the purported new animated series, each comprising 10 episodes.

At this point, Netflix has yet to push out its official announcement with regard to the new project.

Presently, legendary series "The Simpsons" is already in its 27th season on FOX.

If the report is true, the show could be joining the animated show "BoJack Horsemen," which has already gained traction on Netflix and is slated to make a comeback for its third season within the year. Apart from "BoJack Horsemen," Netflix is also a home to "F Is For Family" and the forthcoming "Dr Seuss' Green Eggs and Ham."

At the 2016 CES, Netflix revealed it is now available anywhere across the globe, but not in a few countries, including China, Syria and North Korea. Specifically, Netflix has already expanded to more than 130 countries.

Netflix boss and co-founder Reed Hastings announced the news in his keynote address at the event.

"Today, you are witnessing the birth of a new global Internet TV network... With the help of the Internet, we are putting power in consumers' hands to watch whenever, whenever and on whatever device," said Netflix chief.

Furthermore, the streaming service also added more languages into the list of supported languages, which include Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Korean and Arabic.

Netflix said it is focusing its attention on giving its users a better service and streamlining its content. The streaming service is also on its path toward creating more original content. Among the well-received original videos include "House of Cards," "Orange is the New Black" and "Making a Murderer."

Earlier this month, we also delved on a report that Netflix for Android TV has been given a Smart Lock update, making logins easier and more convenient.
