The Simpsons’ producer clarifies Marge’s death
- The Simpsons executive producer Matt Selman addressed fan concerns about Marge Simpson's apparent Death in the show’s 36th season finale.
- Selman clarified that Marge's Death is not considered canon, stating that the show has no consistent canon due to numerous contradictory flash-forwards.
- The episode, set 35 years in the future, depicted Homer at Marge's grave, but Marge later appeared in a pre-recorded message and then in heaven.
- Selman suggested that media outlets created misleading headlines about Marge's Death to generate traffic, despite knowing it was not a permanent plot point.
- The long-running animated series has been renewed for four more seasons, ensuring it will surpass 800 episodes.
