Chuck Lorre Admits Season 12 Could Be The End Of 'The Big Bang Theory'


Chuck Lorre

A pop-culture phenomenon for more than a decade, smash CBS comedy ‘The Big Bang Theory’ shows no signs of stopping any time soon, but the series’ co-creator Chuck Lorre offered some unofficial insight into its future – and admitted that season 12 could “easily” be a natural end-point.

A consistent ratings winner even on repeat airings and guaranteeing prime advertising real estate, Sheldon, Leonard, Penny and co. have been on the air since 2007, with CBS ordering up two new seasons earlier this year, spanning 48 episodes that will take ‘The Big Bang Theory’ up to the end of a twelfth season.

There’s no formal word on what lies beyond that for the show, but its co-creator revealed to The Hollywood Reporter at the Television Critics Association’s summer press tour on Tuesday (August 1st) that they might be building up to the end.

Fans of ‘The Big Bang Theory’ who are eagerly awaiting news of whether their favourite show is to be given the green light for an eleventh series have been surprised with an announcement that the show’s central character, Sheldon Cooper, is to be the subject of a spin-off ‘prequel’ series.

Deadline reported on Tuesday (November 8th) that CBS is planning a new series that will show the eccentric, neurotic genius of Sheldon Cooper as a ‘child prodigy’ at the age of 12. Not many details have been revealed as the project is largely still in the planning process, but it obviously means that 43 year old Jim Parsons won’t be able to play the character he made so famous.

Jon Cryer Charlie Sheen Chuck Lorre

Jon Cryer's autobiography, So What Happened?, is due to be released on April 7th. Fortunately for us, some of the most interesting sections have been pre-released and they largely concern the antics of Cryer's former Two and a Half Men star, Charlie Sheen. 49-year-old Cryer's depiction of Sheen is similar to how he is depicted in the public eye: wild, controversial and frequently embroiled in unusual relationships.

Charlie Sheen’s antics over recent years have become the stuff of legend, but one of the closest people to him kept largely quiet about what it was like to work alongside him. Until now.

Sheen’s ‘Two and a Half Men’ co-star Jon Cryer, except for a small handful of interviews, has never spilled the beans on what it was like to be around him on a daily basis, wisely choosing to quietly get on with his job and earn millions of dollars as part of the wildly popular comedy.

In a segment usually reserved for long jokes and general rambling, Lorre posted a black and white photography of Leonard Nimoy with the simple yet touching caption reading: 'The impact you had on our show and on our lives is everlasting', following the latest episode which aired in the US on March 5th 2015 on CBS.
