The Big Bang Theory has confirmed that three of its stars will return for an upcoming spin-off.
Development of the latest installment was first revealed in April 2023, with co-creator and executive producer Chuck Lorre attached.
Details were kept secret, as Lorre said TVLine last November that the show was not yet fully developed: ‘You only talk about birth in the second trimester, I believe, is the rule. That’s a long way from saying no, I don’t have anything to say about it other than it’s something we talk about.”
Now it has been revealed that the show is moving forward, with Lauren Lapkus, Kevin Sussman and Brian Posehn confirmed they will be reprising their roles.
If the show does materialize, it will be the third spin-off from the original, and fans have expressed mixed reactions so far.

Someone else predicted the new show will ‘probably be terrible’
Another wrote on Elon Musk’s social media platform: ‘No, it’s done, deal not required’
When someone heard about the update this week, someone asked X, “How many spinoffs does this show need?”
Someone else predicted: ‘Oh wow. It’ll probably be terrible.’
Another wrote on Elon Musk’s social media platform: “No, it’s done, deal not required.”
There was also an opinion that stated that the creators “just want to make more money.”
‘Some things are just a thing of the past. Please leave it alone,” someone else added to the argument.
On the contrary, someone said positively, “I know this is going to be a hit.”
And another excitedly wrote: “Yes please,” in all caps.
The original Big Bang Theory cast included Jim Parsons, Kaley Cuoco, Johnny Galecki, Simon Helberg, Mayim Bialik, Kunal Nayyar and Melissa Rauch.

The Big Bang Theory concluded its 279th and final episode of the CBS show’s 12 seasons in April 2019.
Earlier this year, Parsons reprized his breakthrough role as physicist Sheldon Cooper at Caltech for the finale of the spinoff series Young Sheldon.
He said it turned out to be both “very weird” and “very beautiful.”
“Big Bang Theory was always a live audience show and Young Sheldon is a single-camera show,” he explained to Today host Craig Melvin in March.

He added: ‘And I had to do it with Mayim – we both played Sheldon and Amy in the series. And to do it in that situation, it was just different enough that it wasn’t creepy.”
Young Sheldon, starring Iain Armitage as the genius boy version of Sheldon, ended its seven-season run on May 16.
Mayim joined Parsons in reprising her role from the parent series as Amy Farrah Fowler.
Parsons said, “It felt like the nicest little coda to the whole experience, and I was grateful that they asked us to do it.”
