Everything comes to an end, and ‘The Simpsons‘ is no exception. Showrunner Matt Selmon recently opened up about the prospects of his superhit show ending. “I’m in super denial about (it),” he said while speaking during an interview with People.

“I don’t think about it, so I’m just going to not think about that,” he added. “But certainly, it’s just if the show ever does a last episode.” Moreover, the show is just nearly 4 seasons away from completing its milestone of 40 seasons which is much for a show but for a show like’ The Simpsons’ it doesn’t feel much seeing the popularity of the show.

“I just hope it’s just a regular episode with no Winky Winky stuff at all,” he explained. “Just a great family story, just like a classic story that’s just funny and involves the whole family and doesn’t feel like it needs to wrap up anything or change anything or tie anything up or be magic or talk to the audience directly.”

Fans Are Speculating How ‘The Simpsons’ Will End

Talking about the finale of the 36th season of the show, Matt said that they don’t want to do something big and don’t think it’s a necessity. “We did that. We just did that. We covered it. Check that off the list,” he added.
