Bart Simpson's voice actor reveals when she thinks "The Simpsons" might end

The enduring voice behind Bart Simpson, Nancy Cartwright, has offered a personal prediction for the potential end of "The Simpsons," suggesting the iconic animated series might conclude after its 40th season.

Speaking on the podcast "Inside of You," Cartwright, who has voiced the mischievous Bart since the show's inception, was asked about the longevity of the program. She stated, "After its season 40," clarifying that this was her personal opinion. While she did not elaborate on the reasoning behind this specific season number, the show has already surpassed 37 seasons, with its 37th concluding in February.

Cartwright, however, did not express any reluctance about the possibility of "The Simpsons" continuing beyond her predicted timeframe. When prompted by the podcast host about her stance if producers decided to extend the series further, she humorously responded, "Are we still alive?" Upon receiving an affirmative answer regarding the rest of the cast's potential involvement, she affirmed her own willingness to continue, "Yes, then we'll keep going."

"The Simpsons" holds the record as the longest-running American primetime scripted television series, boasting over 808 episodes. Its continued appeal spans generations, further amplified by its availability on streaming platforms. The show's cultural impact is undeniable, with its characters and situations becoming ingrained in popular culture. Additionally, the series has garnered attention for its uncanny "predictions" of real-life events, fueling speculation about its prescience. Creator Matt Groening, however, has attributed these coincidences to the sheer volume of stories told over the decades and the unpredictable nature of the world, rather than any intentional foresight.
