The season finale of The Simpsons left viewers stunned as one of the most iconic characters was “killed off.”
The new season of the popular animated series has concluded, and the last episode, called Estranger Things, contained a major plot twist.
The destiny of Marge, the mother of Bart and Lisa, is disclosed in this installment.
As the episode explores the siblings’ connection and its evolution over time, Marge worries about their future closeness.
As the episodes progress, it shifts to a scenario set 35 years in the future and Lisa can be heard discussing her “late mother”.
The sequences imply that Marge dies before she is in her early 70s, and that many other people outlive her.
Lisa then reads a letter that Marge left pleading for the siblings to keep their tight bond throughout the episode.
Although the manner and timing of her death are not specified, the scenes indicate that it will happen at some point in the franchise’s future.

Some stunned fans turned to social media to express their confusion after learning that Marge dies in the future, with one writing on X: “WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY KILLED MARGE SIMPSON.”

“Dude, they freaking killed Marge Simpson,” a third user chimed in.
