The Simpsons composer Danny Elfman has spoken out about the popular cartoon show and claimed he heard that the series will end within one year.

With the 31st season underway, The Simpsons has become the world’s most successful and longest-running animated sitcom.

Created by Matt Groening and aired by Fox Broadcasting Company, The Simpsons made its way around the globe, whereas people can’t get enough of Homer, Marge, Lisa, Bart, and Maggie despite the show running for over three decades.

Nevertheless, all good things come to an end eventually.

“Well, from what I’ve heard, it is coming to an end. I don’t know for a fact, but I’ve heard that it will be in its last year,” Elfman, who composed the TV show’s iconic opening song, said in an interview with JOE.

“All I can say is that I’m so flabbergasted and amazed that it has lasted as long as it did.”

Elaborating on his amazement that the show had lasted for three decades, Elfman added:

“You have to realize, when I scored The Simpsons, I wrote this crazy piece of music, and I expected no one would hear it, because I really did not think the show had a chance in hell.

“Really, I expected it would run for three episodes and get canceled, and that would be that, because it was so weird at the time, and I just didn’t think it had a chance. So believe me, that is one of the truly big surprises in my life.”
