RIP, Marge Simpson.

Well, sort of.

“The Simpsons” Season 36 finale revealed that the Simpson family matriarch died in a flash-forward scene.

The episode, entitled “Estranger Things,” explores the sibling relationship between Bart and Lisa as they drift apart once they lose interest in the children’s program “The Itchy & Scratchy Show.”

Marge is fearful that her kids will become estranged — which turns out to be a reality 35 years later after Marge has died.

In the future, Lisa is the commissioner of the NBA and is paying for her widowed father Homer to live in a retirement home that Bart is running unlicensed.

There’s a brief scene from Marge’s funeral where Homer is in tears over his wife’s grave while surrounded by their family.

After Homer is taken out of the retirement home by Senior Protective Services who want to send him to Florida, a devastated Lisa finds an old video from Marge who tells Bart and Lisa to always depend on each other.

Inspired by Marge’s video, Lisa and Bart make up and rescue Homer. The siblings take their dad home where they watch a reboot of “The Itchy & Scratchy Show.”

In Heaven, Marge looks down on her family and says, “I’m so happy my kids are close again.”

Ringo Starr then appears and tells Marge, “Love, we’ll be late for the Heaven Buffett. There’s a shrimp tower.”

“Okay Ringo. I’m just so glad that we’re allowed to marry different people in Heaven,” Marge responds, before she shares a kiss with the Beatles musician.

Marge has been voiced by Julie Kavner since the animated sitcom in 1989.

Viewers expressed their shock over Marge’s death after the episode went viral on social media this week.

“I haven’t even watched The Simpsons in 10+ years but they really killed MARGE?!” one fan wrote on X.

“Why are marge and ringo dead?” another person asked.

A third fan tweeted, “What’s this I’m hearing they killed Marge Simpson off????”

“Marge Simpson is dead? Utter woke nonsense!” a different critic wrote.

“Marge Simpson is dead?! wow,” someone else penned.

Another viewer ranted: “WHY DIDN’T SOMEBODY TELL ME THAT MARGE WAS DEAD?!?!?”

Before the Season 36 finale, Fox renewed “The Simpsons” for four more seasons in April. The series is currently the longest-running animated show on television.

A premiere date for “The Simpsons” Season 37 has not been announced.
