The Simpsons' End: Just Another Episode?

The Simpsons' future conclusion would not feature a traditional series finale, according to showrunner Matt Selman. He explained that the show's unique nature, akin to 'Groundhog Day' where characters reset weekly, means an ending would likely be a standard episode. Selman revealed that a past episode already parodied common finale concepts, serving as his way of demonstrating that a definitive end is unlikely.

Despite the show's premise of unchanging characters, The Simpsons has recently depicted significant character deaths. In a past season, Alice Glick, the church organist, died during a service. This followed the death of Larry the Barfly, a character present since season 10. Executive producers confirmed these deaths, with one noting the impact of even peripheral characters' absences.
