'The Simpsons': Is It Really Ending… and Is Marge Gone?
Season 36 finale leaves fans teary, but not misled.
After nearly four decades, The Simpsons is still full of surprises — and none hit harder than the Season 36 finale, where a flash-forward revealed that Marge Simpson had died. The episode, titled "Estranger Things", shows the family gathering in her memory 35 years into the future. Though her cause of death isn’t revealed, the emotional weight of the moment sparked rumours online: Is Marge really gone?
Not quite. Julie Kavner, Marge’s longtime voice, is still active, and the show hasn’t confirmed Marge’s death in the main timeline. So, is The Simpsons ending in 2025? Not officially. The show marches on — and Marge, for now, lives on with it.
As for the saddest death? This one’s definitely a contender.
