Did The Simpsons Just Kill Off Marge Simpson? Season 36 Finale Leaves Fans Shaken
In a shocking twist, The Simpsons Season 36 finale appears to confirm the death of Marge Simpson — but not in the way fans might expect.
The long-running animated sitcom The Simpsons delivered an emotional punch in its Season 36 finale, titled “Stranger Things” (Episode 18), with a bittersweet storyline that seemingly marks the end of beloved matriarch Marge Simpson.
The episode centers around a deepening rift between Bart and Lisa Simpson. In a flashback scene filled with foreshadowing, Marge tells her children:
“Your father and I won’t be around forever… You share a journey with your siblings that no one else will ever understand. Never take that for granted.”
Ironically, Bart and Lisa later grow apart as adults — Lisa becomes a successful basketball league commissioner while Bart remains stuck in his old ways. Their bond fractures further after Marge dies, and Homer survives her.
The episode concludes with a heartwarming yet surreal moment: Marge is seen in heaven, happily reunited with her “first love” — Beatles legend Ringo Starr. This unexpected scene confirms her passing and adds a layer of closure to her character’s story arc.
Fans are left wondering whether this is truly goodbye to Marge — or just another future-based “what if” tale in the show’s tradition of playing with time and reality.
Earlier this season, The Simpsons also made headlines with its Season 36 premiere episode titled “Bart’s Birthday”, presented as a mock “series finale” hosted by animated Conan O’Brien. With special guest appearances by animated versions of celebrities like Seth Rogen and Mr. T, the premiere cleverly played with fans’ emotions before diving into a new season.
