Marge Simpson, the beloved matriarch of the Simpson family, is not dead, according to executive producer Matt Selman, despite a recent episode that sparked online speculation and outrage. The Season 36 finale showed Marge's death and her character watching from heaven, but Selman confirmed that this storyline is not considered canon.
The episode's storyline, which depicted the aftermath of Marge's demise, was a speculative fantasy that will likely never be referenced again. The show's creators have stated that there is no canon in "The Simpsons," making it difficult to discern what is considered "official" in the show's universe. This approach has allowed the show to play with storytelling and explore different scenarios using flash-forwards and flashbacks.
Selman attributed the online frenzy to websites seeking traffic and attention, and noted that the show's enduring popularity is a testament to its importance in pop culture. He also joked that the outrage is still good publicity for the show, which is still going strong after 36 seasons. The executive producer's statement has alleviated concerns among fans, who can rest assured that Marge will continue to appear in the show.
