The animated sitcom, The Simpsons, has been entertaining viewers for over three decades and shows no signs of slowing down. However, TV executives have already begun to contemplate how the beloved series may eventually come to an end. Since its premiere in 1989, the show has become a household staple, following the misadventures of the iconic family, Homer, Marge, and their children.
Over the years, The Simpsons has featured countless guest stars, including A-list celebrities such as Meryl Streep, Dustin Hoffman, and Lady Gaga. The creators of the show have also inadvertently predicted real-life events, from Donald Trump's presidency to the 2024 Olympics in Paris. With so much success and longevity, it's hard to imagine a world without The Simpsons. However, showrunner and executive producer Matt Selman has shared his hopes for the final episode.
In a recent interview, Selman expressed his desire for the last episode to be a simple, classic family story with no gimmicks or fanfare. He hopes it will be a funny and heartwarming episode that doesn't feel the need to wrap up loose ends or make any drastic changes. He wants it to be a perfect send-off for the beloved characters and their loyal fans.
Last month, viewers were left shocked when the season 36 premiere was advertised as the "series finale" with Conan O'Brien as the host. This led many to believe that the show was coming to an end. However, it was all just a clever marketing ploy, and The Simpsons will continue for years to come. Selman also stated that they no longer feel the need to make a big spectacle out of the final episode, as the season 36 premiere had already taken care of that.
In the follow-up episode, the family found themselves embroiled in a crime while on vacation at a resort called the Drooping Dandelions (a parody of The White Lotus). The episode also saw the return of a character from season 9, Nick Callahan, who had a brief reunion with the Simpson family before meeting his untimely demise at the hands of another guest.
Showrunner Al Jean explained that Nick's character was chosen for the storyline because he hadn't been on the show for 27 years and it was convenient for the plot. However, it was still a tough decision to kill off a character, even if he was not a regular on the show.
The Simpsons continues to entertain audiences on Fox every Sunday. And while we may not know when the final episode will air, we can rest assured that the beloved family will be on our screens for years to come.
