Marge Simpson supposedly died in the finale of the 36th season of the iconic animated series “The Simpsons,” shocking fans worldwide. The episode shows Bart and Lisa coping with the loss of their mother, reading her touching letter. But is Marge really dead? The show’s producers, including executive producer Matt Selman, quickly denied that this is a permanent state. They say Marge is still alive in the main timeline of the series and will remain part of “The Simpsons” for years to come.
This death happens only in one episode that depicts a possible future, a narrative device often used in the series. Many characters in “The Simpsons” have died in various future versions or flashbacks but always returned in the main storyline. So, Marge is dead only in that one episode, while in the actual series, she remains alive and well.
The episode sparked a flood of comments and speculation online, as it is the first time in over three decades of the show that a main family member is shown dying. However, due to the show’s nonlinear and often contradictory chronology, it’s unclear if this death will ever happen in the canonical timeline.
Fans can breathe a sigh of relief because Marge is still here, and future episodes will likely continue to use different versions of the future and fantasies without permanent consequences for the characters. If you thought this was the end for Marge, think again — she’s alive and ready to entertain us for many more seasons!
So, what do you think? Is this episode just a marketing stunt or a prelude to something serious? Share your theories and remember — in the world of The Simpsons, nothing is as it seems!
