Textron Aviation, which owns Beechcraft, is killing off the Bonanza and the Baron.
The Bonanza's been around since the end of WW2. My late uncle once owned a Debonair, which was sort of a baby Bonanza, back in the sixties, when he had a consulting business that spanned much of the Eastern Seaboard. It was a neat airplane. The Air Force flew them as nighttime low-altitude surveillane drone.
I expect that, with eighty years of production, Bonanzas will be a common sight on airport ramps for decades to come.

It will be interesting to see who they sell the production jigs, gear and licenses to. It’s not a huge moneymaker, so they will sell it, the question will be if a group of Bonanza owners can swing getting a holding company up and running.
