'The Simpsons' Executive Producer Confirms 'Marge Simpson Is Not Dead'
Rana Atef In recent days, social media blasted after fans speculated the death of "The Simpsons" iconic character, Marge Simpson, after a scene in the Season 36 finale. It seemed that fans misunderstood the scene leading them to believe her death. Fans started to share memes, tribute posts, and digital mourning on social media, sparking an outpouring of nostalgia and sadness. The episode in question, titled 'Estranger Things', aired on May 18, but it wasn't until this week that the emotional moment gained widespread attention. The story is set in a speculative future, where Bart and Lisa have grown distant as adults. Lisa is now the commissioner of the NBA, and Bart runs an unlicensed retirement home ,which Homer resides in, funded by Lisa. Through the episode, a funeral scene reveals a tombstone engraved with: 'Beloved wife, mother and pork-chop seasoner.' Fans were led to believe Marge had died. The storyline takes a touching turn when Lisa finds an old video message from her mother, urging her children to stay close. This sparks a reunion between Bart and Lisa, who renew their sibling bond as Marge looks down from heaven in a comedic twist, she is seen coupled with Ringo Starr of The Beatles, joking about a heavenly buffet's 'shrimp tower.' But despite the wave of reactions online, fans can rest easy: Marge is not actually dead. Executive producer Matt Selman addressed the viral misunderstanding in an interview with Variety, saying that in the world of The Simpsons, 'there is no canon.' 'The Simpsons doesn't even have canon!' Selman clarified. 'Since 'The Simpsons' future episodes are all speculative fantasies, they're all different every time. Marge will probably never be dead ever again. The only place Marge is dead is in one future episode that aired six weeks ago.' Selman also criticized the media for sensationalizing the storyline for clicks, noting that many headlines deliberately misled readers. 'Every single media outlet that ran this story knew that in no way was Marge dead,' he said. 'But they ran the headline anyway. I guess this speaks to the fact that people care about Marge.' Marge Simpson isn't going anywhere. Marge is alive. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean

Marge Simpson very much alive and not going anywhere, death rumors busted by ‘The Simpsons' creator
Marge Simpson is not dead, as confirmed by 'The Simpsons' executive producer Matt Selman, following recent online outrage sparked by the Season 36 finale of the show. Despite growing concerns and fan reactions suggesting that Marge's character had died, Selman clarified that the episode, which aired on May 18, was not meant to be taken as canon. The episode, titled "Estranger Things," shows a future where Marge has passed away, causing a rift between her children, Bart and Lisa. However, Selman emphasized that 'The Simpsons' has no official canon, and as such, episodes involving future scenarios are merely speculative fantasies. In an interview with Variety, Selman stated, 'There is no canon!' adding that the series' numerous flashbacks and flash-forwards have made it clear that events like this are part of the show's creative storytelling approach, and they are not permanent. The confusion arose after the Season 36 finale, where Marge's death was depicted, followed by her 'affair' with Ringo Starr in heaven. This prompted a wave of social media discussions and media coverage, with many people interpreting it as Marge's death being final. However, Selman confirmed that Marge will remain alive in the show, calling the uproar a result of misleading headlines. 'Websites need traffic, and headlines equal traffic,' he added, noting that all media outlets involved were aware that Marge's death was not permanent. Despite the confusion, Selman also expressed a positive take on the situation, suggesting that the controversy shows that 'The Simpsons' continues to hold significant cultural relevance. Earlier this year, Fox renewed the show for an unprecedented four more seasons, extending it through Season 40, ensuring Marge, voiced by Julie Kavner for nearly 40 years, will remain a central character. In summary, Marge Simpson's character is alive and well, and the fan uproar can be attributed to exaggerated media coverage. Fans can rest assured that Marge will continue to play a pivotal role in the long-running animated series.
