“The Simpsons” producers are planning to kill off an iconic character this season.
Executive producer Al Jean revealed his plans while speaking at a conference call for the show’s 25th season, The Sun News reported.
“I’ll give you a clue that the actor playing the character won an Emmy for playing that character, but I won’t say who it is,” Jean teased.
The hint isn’t particularly helpful, seeing as there have been 25 Emmy winners for “The Simpsons” so far.
Previous winners include Sideshow Bob (Kelsey Grammer), Princess Penelope (Anne Hathaway) and Marge’s mum Jacqueline (Julie Kavner).
Actors Dan Castellaneta and Hank Azaria (best known as Homer and Apu) have lent their voices to a number of “Simpsons” characters and won multiple Emmys over the years.
The Fox animated series treated fans to a hilarious parody of “Homeland” in its 25th season premiere on Sunday. “Saturday Night Live”‘s Kristen Wiig starred as an FBI agent.
