On June 25, major foreign media outlets including The Wrap reported that the Season 36 finale of The Simpsons ended with the unexpected death of Marge Simpson, leaving longtime fans stunned and emotional.
In this surprising episode, the Simpson children—Bart, Lisa, and Maggie—are shown grieving their mother’s passing. A somber Homer Simpson is seen crying at Marge’s grave, marking one of the most emotional scenes in the show’s long-running history.
The emotional weight continues as Bart and Lisa discover a video will left behind by Marge. In it, she lovingly urges her children to remain close and to look after their father. This heartfelt moment deeply resonated with viewers, some of whom have grown up with the series since its debut in 1989.
The final scene adds a surreal and humorous twist—true to the show’s style. The scene cuts to heaven, where Marge watches over her family and says, “I’m so glad my kids are close again.” Suddenly, Ringo Starr of The Beatles appears, and Marge says, “I’m so glad we’re allowed to marry different people in heaven,” before sharing a kiss with the rock legend.
Fans immediately took to social media to express their shock, sadness, and confusion over Marge Simpson’s death. Many are hoping that the twist isn’t permanent. According to The Wrap, since The Simpsons has already been renewed through Season 40, there’s a strong chance that this may not be the final chapter for Marge. The show is known for bending time and narrative logic, and deaths in animated sitcoms—especially ones as long-running as The Simpsons—aren’t always permanent.
