The Simpsons executive producer Al Jean has insisted that there is no "end in sight" for the popular animated sitcom.

The long-running series first aired in 1989 on Fox, and is currently airing its 26th season, but it looks like Homer and the gang won't be leaving Springfield anytime soon.

Speaking to Digital Spy, Jean said: "I don't see an end in sight - ratings are really good. I think it's going to go at least two more years, maybe four, maybe more.

"I've stopped trying to predict, because it always goes much further than anybody dreams."

When asked if a second Simpsons movie was on the cards, he said: "No-one wants to do a bad movie. We have ideas [for a second film] but it's a really tough bar it's gotta pass."
