Big Bang Theory bosses open up on potential revival

The Big Bang Theory may have left our screen over three years ago, but could it really come back?

Well, according to the show's creators, it's "hard to imagine" what Sheldon, Penny and co could be up to – though it isn't out of the realms of possibility.

"I know that people do get characters together for reunions and things like that," co-creator Bill Prady told Entertainment Weekly.

"But it's hard to imagine what you would see after the finale because I found the finale was just one of the most beautiful and satisfying episodes. The closure it brought was astonishing. It's hard to imagine reopening the story."

Fellow creator Chuck Lorre added of a potential reunion: "I don't think we left anything undone. That was as close to a perfect finale as we could have ever dreamt of doing. I loved it."

Prady did admit he would like to see some sort of comeback, however, continuing: "Would I like to stand on a stage someplace and watch those characters again? Yes, absolutely. Can I imagine a way to do it? I can't.

"But, personally, would l like to go to Stage 25 and see that set and those costumes and those people? Yeah, I get choked up just thinking about it. But I don't know how we'd do that."

Earlier this year, it was confirmed that the cast of The Big Bang Theory had reunited for a new oral history of the show, which is due out next month.

The Big Bang Theory: The Definitive, Inside Story of the Epic Hit Series will be released on October 4, 2022. The Big Bang Theory aired on CBS in the US. You can buy the complete boxset now on DVD and Blu-ray.
