November 2 will see the final episode under his direction being released, with Matt Selman continuing as the lone showrunner for the foreseeable future.
After a quarter of a decade bringing The Simpsons episodes to fans, it has now been revealed that Al Jean is stepping down as the co-showrunner of the animated series. Following joining The Simpsons as a writer for its first two seasons and then stepping up to become co-showrunner for Season 3 and onwards, Jean is stepping back from the role, „for now“ at least.
