The Big Bang Theory Reunion Axed by Creators
In disappointing news for fans around the world, creators of the beloved sitcom ‘The Big Bang Theory' – Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady – have nixed all hopes of a potential reunion. The global fanbase has been clamoring for a reunion since the series finale in 2019, hoping to see the continuing saga unfold after the characters Sheldon and Amy's Nobel win. However, as per the recent updates from the creators, the thought of a reunion seems practically impossible.
No Room for Reunion
‘The Big Bang Theory', with its 279 episodes spanning over 12 seasons, ended on a high note, according to Lorre and Prady. The creators reckon that their impactful conclusion of the major story arcs left no loose ends. When asked about the possibility of a reunion, the creator duo maintained that they cannot envision a rewarding way to do it.
Young Sheldon Fans Feel Disheartened
Ever since the grand finale of ‘Young Sheldon', another popular Chuck Lorre production, fans have been yearning to see more of the beloved characters. The finale of the prequel series, which featured a beautiful connection to ‘The Big Bang Theory', was a mesmerizing experience for many fans, especially with adult Sheldon and Amy reprising their popular roles.
However, the question is not whether cast members Johnny Galecki, Kaley Cuoco, Simon Halberg, and others would return. As clarified in an EW interview, Lorre and Prady can't figure out a reunion with a compelling storyline, although they would love to see those characters and costumes once again.
The Big Bang Theory Characters Amidst the Pandemic
While they categorically deny the possibility of a reunion, Lorre and Prady had fun speculating about their characters' response to the pandemic. According to Lorre, Sheldon, portrayed by multiple Emmy winner Jim Parsons, would embrace the pandemic as an opportunity to avoid dealing with the world. Prady believes Sheldon would pontificate about his knowledge of germs, even possibly clashing with in-house microbiologist Bernadette about her job.
Expanding The Big Bang Universe
Despite the gloom surrounding a reunion, life goes on in the ‘The Big Bang Theory' universe. Plans are on for ‘Georgie and Mandy's First Marriage', a series featuring Montana Jordan and Emily Osment's characters from ‘Young Sheldon'.
The series, along with ‘The Big Bang Theory' and ‘Young Sheldon', is available on Netflix.
Thus, while a reunion might be off the cards, fans still have an expanding universe to explore and remember their favourite characters. In the words of Sheldon, “Everything is changing and it's simply very exciting.
