Your support makes all the difference.Rumour has it that The Big Bang Theory could be packing it in once next season - the show’s tenth - is all wrapped up (there are currently no confirmed plans for an eleventh season).
If things do go ahead, and CBC and Warner Bros come to an agreement, then their first move will be getting the cast back, and they’re all more than happy to return according to Penny actress Kaley Cucoco.
"I think it's a given that we want to be here," she told TV Line. "That's the overall consensus. It might be a sticky road, but if I have anything to do with it, we'd be here for much longer. That's the goal. "
Jim Parsons, who plays Sheldon on the show, echoed her statement, saying: “If the opportunity to go past Season 10 came up, I’d be very hard-pressed to tell you who [among the cast] might say no — if anybody would. I wouldn’t.
“The writers are still so devoted and on top of it. The stories that come out are still so much fun to play — there’s no drudgery aspect to this.
“I’m trying to imagine when an actor in a good situation would go, ‘I’m out of here! I don’t think it would be between Seasons 10 and 11 — not if things are going well.”
Contrary to saying the show would most likely end at season 10, showrunner Steve Molaro also seemed open to a further season.
"I'll keep pushing forward and, as we learn more, we'll adjust if necessary,” he said. “If everything keeps going the way it's been going, absolutely [I'm up for more] .”
Keep your fingers crossed Big Bang fans.
