A Heartbreaking Farewell to Marge Simpson

Did "The Simpsons" really just say goodbye to one of its most cherished characters? Spoiler alert: The season 36 finale, titled "Estranger Things," features an emotional flashforward, and it's leaving fans buzzing!

In a surprising twist, we fast-forward thirty-five years into the future where Lisa and Bart Simpson are all grown up. Tragically, their mother, Marge Simpson, is no longer with them. In a poignant scene, Marge gazes down from the heavens, celebrating as her estranged children finally reconnect.

Adding a surreal twist, Marge is seen in the afterlife with none other than Ringo Starr, while Homer Simpson remains a fixture of the present.

Social Media Erupts!

News of Marge's demise sent shockwaves across social media. One fan exclaimed, "No way @TheSimpsons killed off MARGE Simpson?????" Another tweeted, "Marge simpson dies in the new season of the simpsons…" The reactions have been overwhelming!

Is This the End for Marge?

However, before packing your tissues, there’s hope! There’s no indication that Marge is gone for good. She may be dead in this future timeline, but the beloved matriarch is still alive and kicking in the show’s main narrative. With an official renewal from Fox for seasons 37 and 38, fans can rest easy knowing there’s plenty more Simpsons fun ahead.

The episode didn’t delve into the details of Marge’s death, leaving the door open for future storylines where her fate could unfold.

Casting Changes Ahead

In other news, while Marge's fate remains uncertain, change is in the air for the show’s cast. Iconic voice actress Pamela Hayden, who has been voicing characters like Milhouse since the series debuted in 1989, announced her retirement last November. The reins have been handed over to Kelly Macleod, who made her debut in this season's finale.

Fans can catch all episodes of "The Simpsons" streaming now on Hulu and Disney+.
