In the Season 36 finale of The Simpsons titled “Estranger Things,” a flash-forward 35 years into the future shows Marge Simpson has died, with her children Lisa and Bart attending her funeral.
Lisa is now the NBA commissioner, while Bart runs an unlicensed retirement home where Homer lives.
The episode explores the siblings’ emotional distance and eventual reunion inspired by a message from Marge.
Despite the somber tone, the episode confirms Marge’s death is only in the imagined future.
The show itself remains ongoing, recently renewed for four more years.
