Did The Simpsons predict 'death of a former prime minister in jail on Sept 3, 2025?’

A graphic image circulating on social media claims that The Simpsons predicted the death of a former prime minister, visually resembling PTI founder Imran Khan, in prison on September 3, 2025.

Recently, a digitally-created image resembling a scene from The Simpsons was widely shared on Instagram and other platforms.

The illustration showed Simpsons characters at a funeral with a grave marked with the image of a man resembling former prime minister Imran Khan.

The image originated from an Instagram account named "simpsons_editz", The caption on the post read, “No cameras. No trial. Just a cold cell and a silent burial. The world watches — but no one speaks. Is this justice… or a message?”

The scene showed Bart Simpson holding a newspaper that read, “Former leader dies in prison cell, millions mourn.”

Mourners in the background held banners with political slogans like “TRUTH WAS BURIED TOO” and “SILENCE FROM THE TOP.”

Several social media users shared the image and expressed concern, praying for Khan's safety, while noting that he remains isolated in jail and deprived of access to his family and legal counsel.

Actor Ali Ansari also reposted the image on his Instagram story, writing, “This Simpsons prediction better not be true.”

Fact Check

We conducted a reverse image search using Google Images and found no official Simpsons episode or clip that includes such a scene.

The style, layout, and framing of the image also do not match the animation style of The Simpsons. Instead, the image appears to be a digitally altered or AI-generated artwork, not an actual frame from any episode.

The image was first shared by an Instagram account named "simpsons_editz", which is known for posting fan-made or satirical content, not official predictions.

The picture of the leader shown in the image did not match the animation style and appeared to be digital art placed on the scene.

The Specific Date: September 3, 2025

The viral image falsely claims The Simpsons predicted a death on September 3, 2025. However, no episode of The Simpsons has ever referenced a specific future date involving the death of a world leader, let alone Imran Khan.

 Verdict: False

The viral image claiming The Simpsons predicted the death of a former prime minister in prison on September 3, 2025, is digitally manipulated and not from any actual episode of the show. The image is fan-made and should not be considered a genuine prediction.

The claim that The Simpsons predicted Imran Khan’s death in jail is not true. It is part of a growing trend of fabricated visuals meant to look like Simpsons scenes, often spread for political commentary or shock value.

Always verify such viral content through reliable sources, reverse image searches, and fact-check platforms.
