Production
When longtime guest star J. K. Simmons departed during production of Season 16, the crew and series creator Butch Hartman decided to make one more season of the show without Simmons appearing in a single episode as a guest star. The series finale, "In The Future", takes place twelve years into the future, and will credit Simmons under the "special thanks" section of the end credits. He was the guest star to have had the most appearances on the show, while Natalie Portman came second most. Portman will be the last celebrity to guest star on the show.

Production started on December 11, 2017 with the recording of the episode "The YouTube Experience" (1701).

The song "Everyday" by Carly Comando, will be used in the series finale, as it was promoted to a NBA commercial.
