Kerry Washington will be the voice that will give life to a new character the The Simpsons: we are talking about the new teacher of Bart, who will replace the missing Mrs. Krabappel. Her name is Rayshelle Peyton.
Below is a first introductory clip from teacher Rayshelle Peyton.

Producer Carolyn Omine presented the character as follows:
She really wants to try and understand the needs of the kids, but she won’t be able to understand Bart’s needs until certain things come up.
Kerry Washington herself, who has thus far seen herself in productions such as Scandal and Little Fires Everywhere, said:
She is a great teacher, but she knows that students have a lot to teach her. And being Bart’s teacher will be a job full of opportunity.
After Mrs. Krabappel’s disappearance, several teachers have succeeded each other in Bart’s class: in season 26, Jack Lassen (Willem Dafoe), a great enemy of Bart, was immediately fired. In the following, Sofia Vergara voiced former Sergeant Carol Berrera, who at the end of the episode said goodbye and left for Afghanistan. While in season 29, Flanders herself became Bart’s teacher. The character Rayshelle Peyton will make his American debut in the series tomorrow, April 24.
