The Simpsons is planning to return for Season 37, marking a significant milestone in the animated series. However, Matt Groening, the show’s creator, has hinted at the grim (and only) reason why the series will eventually conclude. Fox has recently sealed a substantial deal with The Simpsons for four additional seasons after the airing of Season 36. This is advantageous for Fox as they aim to expand their lineup of adult animated shows, but it also means that when the contract expires, The Simpsons will have reached a total of 40 seasons.
The long-running animated series, “The Simpsons,” continues to thrive and prepare for its landmark 800th episode in Season 37, leaving fans speculating about the show’s eventual conclusion. A more pressing question revolves around when the series might come to an end, and at San Diego Comic-Con 2025, creator Matt Groening hinted that they intend to carry on “until someone passes away.” While this statement may seem ominous, it was delivered with a touch of humor, leaving fans pondering the future of their beloved show.
When Will The Simpsons End?
Matt Groening, creator of “The Simpsons,” stated during San Diego Comic-Con 2025 that he initially believed they would stop at season 36, but jokingly added there’s no end in sight and they plan to continue as long as nobody passes away. For the past 35 years, most of the original voice cast has remained with the series, with only a significant change occurring this past season when Pamela Hayden retired. This prolonged run has been a source of anticipation for longtime fans.
As The Simpsons moves forward into Season 40, there may be additional shifts in its primary cast members. If an unfortunate event were to occur, such as a sudden death, The Simpsons would face a challenging choice. If a main character chooses to depart from the show, they might be replaced for upcoming episodes. However, if a key character passes away, The Simpsons might contemplate ending due to the immense impact it would have on the series overall.
How Will The Simpsons End?
It appears that everyone involved with The Simpsons is content with continuing the series indefinitely. In the opening episode of Season 36, they humorously depicted a hypothetical end to the franchise, only to disprove it by the episode’s close. This not only emphasizes that the series isn’t planning on ending soon, but also suggests that a grand finale for The Simpsons may be challenging or impossible.
Instead of concluding with a grand series finale or a movie like “The Simpsons Movie,” it might be more fitting for the show to simply produce one last episode. This final episode would depict the family in their usual antics, but mark the end of the series. Despite any looming dark truths, let’s hope that The Simpsons continue to entertain us for many years to come.
