No, The Simpsons Is NOT Ending, Says Producer
by Jon ArvedonIt appears the claim that the hit animated series The Simpsons is coming to an end was a bit premature.
After composer Danny Elfman said the three-decade-old series was nearing its conclusion, executive producer Al Jean stepped in to reassure fans that's not the case.
"From what I’ve heard, it’s coming to an end," Elfman claimed, causing an immediate rift among fans of Springfield's first family. "I don’t know for a fact, but I’ve heard that it will be in its last year."
The Simpsons was recently renewed for its 31st and 32nd seasons, and after Disney's acquisition of Fox, nearly every past episode of the series found a new home on Disney+. What's more, at D23 Expo in August, Jean teased the possibility of more films and even potential spinoffs.
