The Big Bang Theory is eyeing a final payday. According to Variety, the last obstacle to Warner Bros. TV and CBS securing what could be a final two-season renewal is sealing new contract with actresses Mayim Bialik and Melissa Rauch:
According to multiple sources, the five original cast members on the show – Jim Parsons, Johnny Galecki, Kaley Cuoco, Kunal Nayyar and Simon Helberg — made the extraordinary gesture of taking a small pay cut to free up money for raises for Bialik and Rauch. The move is evidence of the strong camaraderie among the key players on the show that remains primetime’s most-watched comedy. The general harmony behind the scenes has also contributed to the show’s enduring creative strength, bolstered by the comedic chops of the core ensemble.
But as the dealmaking for what might be the final two seasons of “Big Bang” hits the home stretch, reps for Bialik and Rauch are said to be pressing for the studio to add some more coin to their paychecks as well.
Stay tuned as we continue to monitor the future status of The Big Bang Theory Season 11 and possibly Season 12…
