The Simpsons pulls a Game of Thrones and 'kills' one of its best characters, leaving fans clutching their red pearls

Homer, Marge, Lisa, and Bart Simpson in The Simpsons season 36.

Over the show's 35-year-long run, The Simpsons has not been afraid to kill off a few side characters here and there to keep things interesting. But the show has always protected its main five characters, Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie. That is, until now, as in the most recent episode, we see Marge Simpson meet her end. Well, kind of.

The Simpsons season 36 finale, titled 'Estranger Things', follows Marge worrying that her children Bart and Lisa won’t be close as they grow up due to their squabbling nature. The episode then jumps forward 35 years into the future, with Lisa thriving and successful, whereas her brother is running an unlicensed retirement home.
