The Simpsons voice artist, Harry Shearer, who has voiced beloved characters like Mr Burns, Smithers, Seymour Skinner, and Ned Flanders, has reportedly quit the show following contract dispute.

Showrunner Al Jean confirmed that Ned Flanders, Mr. Burns, and other major Shearer characters will be recast.

He told The New York Times, "We do not plan to kill off characters like Burns and Flanders but will recast with the finest voice over talent available."

Another tweet from Al Jean also hinted at Shearer's return.
