Voice actor Nancy Cartwright, who has voiced Bart Simpson since 1987, comments on the show’s future, suggesting it could end after The Simpsons’ 40th season. She also indicates that she would be happy to continue if the series chooses to keep going, but her remarks point to a possible endpoint tied to an upcoming milestone.
Both outlets note that The Simpsons is approaching its next season release. NME reports that the 38th season is scheduled to arrive next month. Mint (India) frames Cartwright’s prediction more directly around an “after season 40” scenario, while maintaining that her view is not presented as a definitive announcement. The reporting focuses on Cartwright’s perspective rather than any official decision by the show’s producers, with outlets differing primarily in how they emphasize the timing and whether they foreground the “season 40” speculation versus the near-term season 38 release schedule.
