During the show's ninth season, The Simpsons parodied Lord of the Flies, giving it a comedic twist as Bart, Lisa, and friends ended up stranded on an island.

“The Simpsons” executive producer Matt Selman has spoken out about the surprising decision to “kill off” Marge Simpson during a flashforward scene in the show’s Season 36 finale.

The final episode featured a time skip 35 years into the future where siblings Bart and Lisa Simpson had grown apart, something their mother, Marge Simpson, had always feared.
