At this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, Matt Groening, the creator of the iconic animated series The Simpsons, made a compelling statement, asserting that the show is far from over—at least until a tragic event occurs.
The Simpsons: No End in Sight Until Tragedy Strikes
With 36 seasons already aired and a 37th season on the horizon, The Simpsons holds the title of the longest-running animated series in American television history. The show has spanned decades, surviving through cultural shifts and generational changes.
I honestly thought we’d wrap up by season 36. But no, there’s no end in sight. We’ll keep going until someone passes away.
Although Groening’s remarks are laced with humor, they reflect a deeper reality: the creative team remains dedicated, innovative, and connected to the show’s universe. The series’ conclusion will not stem from an editorial decision, but rather from a tragic and unforeseen event.
We’ll stop when someone dies. In the meantime, enjoy the show.
Season 37 Promises Exciting Guest Stars
The Comic-Con announcements have also unveiled an impressive lineup for season 37. Notable guest stars include Kieran Culkin, Viola Davis, Idris Elba, Michael Keaton, Glenn Howerton, Danny Pudi, and Cole Escola, among others.
Furthermore, the highly-anticipated 800th episode is set to air in February 2026. Executive producer Matt Selman confirmed that two new episodes will premiere that night, although he withheld details about the content, promising it would be “the best 800th episode of all time.”
Clearing Up Misconceptions
Many rumors circulate around the beloved animated series, including claims that The Simpsons predicted a scandal involving the CEO of Astronomer and their HR department. According to the producers, this is merely a grotesque deepfake.
Think twice before believing what you see online. Half of these so-called predictions are fabricated.

Another recent rumor alleged that Marge died in the season 36 finale, igniting a frenzy among the show’s fanbase. However, this information is also untrue.
There’s no canon in The Simpsons. Marge is in every episode. It was just a joke. Yet, some media outlets create clickbait headlines. I refer to them as ‘trick bait.’
