With so many of our favorite shows being revived and rebooted, one of our beloveds is ending.
CBS has announced that The Big Bang Theory will be ending after its forthcoming season.
Sheldon, Leonard, Howard, Raj, Penny, Amy, and Bernadette have been a part of our lives since 2007 and has consistently been rated as the number one sitcom in America.
The network had been in preliminary discussions to extend the show beyond its 12th season, but a joint statement from CBS, Warner Bros. Television, and Chuck Lorre Productions have confirmed that the series will come to an end in May.
“We are forever grateful to our fans for their support of The Big Bang Theory during the past twelve seasons. We, along with the cast, writers and crew, are extremely appreciative of the show’s success and aim to deliver a final season, and series finale, that will bring The Big Bang Theory to an epic creative close.”
The 5 principal members of the cast are currently the highest paid on television, though Johnny Galecki who plays Dr. Leonard Hofstadter said in January, “The only way we’ve discussed wrapping the show is we’re all going to be very sad when that day comes. I think at this point everyone is very comfortable with 12 seasons being a good time to go home and see our families.
And that day will come after the newest season premieres on the 24th of September.
