The Simpsons Showrunner Denies Series Finale Plans

News summary

Matt Selman, the showrunner of 'The Simpsons', admitted he is 'in super denial' about how the show would handle the death of one of its main voice actors, stating, 'I don’t think about it, so I’m just going to not think about that.' The show's primary voice cast includes notable actors like Dan Castellaneta and Julie Kavner, who have been with the series since its inception in 1989. Selman expressed a desire for the series finale to feel like a regular episode rather than a grand event, hoping for a simple family story without any need for dramatic wrap-ups. This comes after the premiere of Season 36, which humorously dubbed its first episode, 'Bart's Birthday', as a 'series finale', causing some fan confusion due to its AI-generated nature. Selman's comments reflect a long-standing approach to the show that prioritizes humor and storytelling over sensationalism in concluding the series. 'The Simpsons' continues to air new episodes on Sundays at 8 p.m. ET on FOX.
