Big Bang Theory 'season 10 may be the show's ending point', showrunner Steve Molaro says

Co-creator Chuck Lorre added 'as long as everybody is having a good time then it's worth continuing'

The Big Bang Theory’s most recent series has covered some major milestones: Leonard and Penny are getting married, Raj has a girlfriend, Sheldon and Amy had sex!

Everyone is pretty settled at the moment, and settled relationships don’t exactly make gripping TV. So, could this be the end of the beloved show?

Well, not exactly as CBS have already renewed it for a 10th season running through 2016-17, but after that it really could be the end.

When asked by The Hollywood Reporter whether The Big Bang Theory would finish after its 10th series, showrunner Steve Molaro said: "I think so. I can't speak to the future or on behalf of the cast or where we'll be then but it's certainly possible that it could go past that.

"The reality is that maybe season 10 is the ending point."

He clarified that he cannot be sure if the series will end there, and doesn’t want to focus on the end point right now.

“The real answer is I don't know and all I can do right now is go episode to episode and try to make each one the best that we can,” he continued.

“There’s still so many episodes to go. Even if hypothetically season 10 was the end, I wouldn't be focusing on that yet. That seems like something that would be dealt with way down the line.”

For co-creator Chuck Lorre, the series has already gone ‘beyond his wildest dreams’, saying that “as long as everybody is having a good time and we're making a show we're proud of … then it's worth continuing.”

The Big Bang Theory is currently the number one comedy in the US amongst 18-49 years olds, the most coveted demographic to be king of. The series is coming to its 200th episode, but don’t expect anything special.

"It's such a weird thing! It's just a number!” Molar said. “Do we really need to pull out all the stops and do something crazy? I don't know. I've been starting to kick around things we might be able to do if we really want to do something extra special but nothing concrete yet.”

The Big Bang Theory, series 9, is showing at 8.30pm, Thursdays on E4.
