The world’s longest running animation could bow out after its current series, according to Danny Elfman
They have been a TV fixture for almost 30 years, but The Simpsons could finally be “coming to an end” according to Danny Elfman, the man behind its famous theme tune.
Speaking on a podcast hosted by the site joe.ie, the 66-year-old said he was aware of plans to stop the long-running series after its current run. “From what I’ve heard it will be coming to an end,” said Elfman. “I don’t know for a fact, but I’ve heard that it will be in its last year.” He went on to express his surprise at the show’s success. “I’m so flabbergasted and amazed that it has lasted as long as it did … you have to realise, 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.”
