Bart Simpson Actress Believes The Simpsons Will End Soon
Nancy Cartwright said the animated sitcom could end in 2028, citing Season 40 as a natural stopping point and the cast’s aging voices.
Nancy Cartwright, who has voiced Bart Simpson for 39 years, predicted on Tuesday that The Simpsons may conclude after Season 40, though she clarified this reflects her personal opinion rather than an official announcement.
The Simpsons debuted on The Tracey Ullman Show and recently reached its 800th episode, with the series renewed through Season 40, scheduled to conclude in spring 2029.
During an appearance on the Inside podcast with Michael Rosenbaum, Cartwright stated she would continue voicing Bart indefinitely if the show persists, though she acknowledged recasting challenges given actor Harry Shearer's age of 82.
Official representatives for The Simpsons have not commented on Cartwright's prediction, while the franchise prepares its second feature film scheduled for release on July 23rd, 2027.
Longtime writer and producer Mike Reiss noted the series once faced cancellation due to costs, but the cast averted it by accepting a 30 percent pay cut, allowing the show to continue on Fox.
