However, if the end were to come, The Simpsons executive producer Al Jean has revealed the ideas he has for the final episode.

Al previously envisioned the family going to the Christmas pageant they attended in the very first episode.

"I just thought that the beautiful thing about that would be that the whole show would never have an end. It would be a loop, and you'd never go—".

Al added that animators never want their characters to age or grow, so he felt that sending The Simpsons back round on a loop would be the "perfect end to the show."

Thankfully for fans, the show has been recommissioned for two further seasons so far.
