The world of Sheldon Cooper will continue one way or the other. HBO Max (soon to be rebranded as simply Max) has announced that a new spin-off of The Big Bang Theory is in development with co-creator Chuck Lorre.
The project is in the works at Warner Bros. Television, where Lorre has an overall deal. Plot details for the new series have yet to be revealed. Word is that the project is in the early stages, and a decision on which character(s) will be at the center has not been made. Some reports have indicated that it may be an hour series primarily populated by new characters.
Lorre will executive produce the new show via Chuck Lorre Productions. It will be the second collaboration between HBO Max, Lorre, and WBTV. Lorre and Nick Bakay are producing the new HBO Max Original comedy series How to Be a Bookie, starring Sebastian Maniscalco.
The Big Bang Theory aired from 2007 to 2019 on CBS and ended up being a top-rated hit for the network for many years. Prequel spin-off Young Sheldon debuted in 2017 and has also been a big hit for the network. The news of another Big Bang spin-off comes as Young Sheldon is poised to enter its seventh, and possibly final, season on CBS next fall.
What do you think? Would you be interested in watching a new Big Bang Theory spin-off series?
Characters oh my God that’s worrisome my two to watch today is acceptable. Don’t expect anything like the old TV show because that won’t happen. It’s going to be at Concho what is acceptable now then acceptable no longer acceptable. So don’t put anything past year. It’s just gonna be politically right correct programming. I don’t know what to say I just hope it’s halfway decent but it’s not in the trash bin for me
Sounds great to me. I love the show.
Honestly there’s enough meat on the bone to do the childhoods of Howard, Raj, Leonard, and Penny for that matter. Really don’t feel like I need to see Bernadette and especially not Amy.
Sounds great to me! Honestly, I’d like to see Young Sheldon continue through his graduate school years, even if it means reconfiguring the show without the family. I think the family element has been wonderful, but they can still keep going and keep it fresh with a reconfiguration. They could also split it into two shows as others have done, one that continues the story of the family and one that continues Sheldon’s graduate school years. They really don’t have to stop filming Sheldon’s story until they reach the day of the original series. Just my opinion.
Disagree this last season final season so funny the Big Bang Theory original series
