It looks like The Simpsons' Sideshow Bob is finally going to get his revenge on Bart Simpson - by killing him.
But fans of the hit show need not worry, as Bart's death will only be temporary.
When the show next returns to TV screens, reports say the annual Halloween episode will see Sideshow Bob killing his nemesis, but only for the episode.
It's been confirmed that actor Kelsey Grammer will return to voice Sideshow Bob.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly radio, executive producer Al Jean said: "You're going to see Sideshow Bob do something he's wanted to do for a long time."
"I'm one of the people that always wanted the Coyote to eat the Roadrunner so you can see where this is going. When I was a kid, I wanted the rabbit to get the Trix - I hated frustration comedy so we'll scratch that itch on the Halloween special."
Reports meanwhile say there was no update on news of a replacement for voiceover artist Harry Shearer, who announced he was leaving the show in May.
The actor, who voices Mr Burns, Ned Flanders, Principal Skinner and Waylon Smithers, tweeted the news, saying his contract had not been renewed with Fox.
