"Matt Groening, the mastermind behind 'The Simpsons', declares the series will conclude upon Donald Trump's demise."
The beloved animated series, The Simpsons, has been renewed for an impressive four more seasons, taking the show through 2029. This historic renewal was announced in April 2025, extending the series beyond the recently completed Season 36 and the upcoming Season 37, which premieres on September 28, 2025 [1][2].
The new seasons will feature 17 episodes, with most premiering on Fox and some exclusives on Disney+. The series will celebrate a significant milestone during Season 37, as it airs its 800th episode in February 2026 [3].
Matt Groening, the creator of The Simpsons, continues to make bold statements about the show's longevity and its ability to predict future events. However, he has not provided a specific end date or show finale plan publicly [1][2].
In recent news, Groening made a provocative comment at San Diego Comic-Con, suggesting that the show will not end until US President Donald Trump dies [4]. This controversial statement adds to the ongoing debate and discussion that The Simpsons' portrayal of political figures often sparks.
Meanwhile, the portrayal of Trump in The Simpsons differs from his depiction in South Park, where he was put in bed with Satan. The latest episode of The Simpsons, which features an argument between Trump and the Canadian Prime Minister in the White House, is sure to continue this trend [5].
The Canadian Prime Minister and Trump have also been trading barbs, with Trump questioning the Canadian Prime Minister's tariffs and the Prime Minister responding with a witty retort, echoing the tensions between the two leaders [6].
As The Simpsons continues to address current political events and figures, it remains a staple of popular culture and a source of entertainment and conversation for millions of viewers worldwide.
