It's difficult to think of any conceivable endgame The Simpsons has after 800 episodes, and it's something that Matt Selman addressed about the Matt Groening-animated series, which has been a staple on Fox Sunday nights since 1989.
Speaking with The Wrap, the showrunner broke down why he doesn't see it happening, because of all the possibilities and opportunities the animated series has tackled, it's been done already, several times.

'We jammed every possible series finale concept into one show, so that was sort of my way of saying we're never going to do a series finale. We did a series finale in the middle of the show that made fun of all the ideas of wrapping everything up or ending.' Selman added that continuity is not something that's part of The Simpsons' nature. 'The show isn't supposed to change. The characters reset every week. It's like Groundhog Day, but they don't know it — and they don't die that much. If the show ever did end, there's no finale, it would just be a regular episode that has the family in it. Probably a little Easter egg here and there, but no 'I'm going to miss this place.'' 'We just want to make every separate episode its own amazing little mini movie that stands on its own and is original from the other 799.' Selman explained. 'It's a hard challenge, but it's a really fun challenge, that quest for originality; and to really be worthy of the mantle of making a TV show where we can kind of do whatever we want, and people still seem to like it. So we're just the luckiest writer Ding-Dongs in the world. I just don't want to screw it up.'
