The Big Bang Theory Season 11 and 12 renewed? The CBS sitcom is closing in on a 2-season renewal, Deadline reports:
CBS‘ The Big Bang Theory is on track to go on for at least two more seasons. I hear that original cast members Jim Parsons, Johnny Galecki, Kaley Cuoco, Simon Helberg and Kunal Nayyar are in final negotiations on new two-year contracts to continue on the Warner Bros TV-produced comedy series, paving the way for a two-year renewal, which I hear also is nearing the finishing line. If negotiations between CBS and WBTV conclude successfully, that would bring the blockbuster comedy to 12 seasons. The network and studio declined comment.
Deadline adds:
The series has generated more than $1 billion for Warner Bros TV in syndication revenue. The dearth of big network sitcoms in the past few years might help the show continue to generate strong revenue for its additional seasons on TBS and in broadcast syndication despite the fact that both the cable network and the stations have a cap on how many seasons of Big Bang they have to pick up at the original very high price, which has been met, making future seasons potentially less valuable.
Will TBBT survive the cancellation reaper for another TWO seasons as reported? Stay tuned as we continue to monitor the survival status of CBS sitcom…
