'The Big Bang Theory' season 10 news update: May be the series' last; Movie version being considered?
For nine straight years, CBS' comedy sitcom "The Big Bang Theory" has amassed a huge number of followers all over the world, and it has consistently topped the primetime ratings game in the United States. However, it appears that all good things must really come to an end. The rumors are rife that the upcoming tenth season of "The Big Bang Theory" will be the last for the series. Season 10 may be the last chance of the viewers to say good-bye to Sheldon, Raj, Bernadette, Amy, Penny, Howard and Leonard.
In an interview with the Hollywood Reporter last December, "The Big Bang Theory" Executive Producer Steve Molaro gave a few hints that the series is about to bid its last farewell with the season 10 finale. Molaro revealed in the interview that season 10 will wrap up the individual stories of the series' regular characters, describing it as the "ending point" of the show.
However, in spite of seemingly declaring the tenth season as the final chapter of the book, Molaro said that he is always open for the possibility of creating follow-up seasons.
"I don't know and all I can do right now is go episode to episode and try to make each one the best that we can," said Molaro.
"The Big Bang Theory" co-creator Chuck Lorre also told Hollywood Reporter that he and his entire team are always willing to write more episodes for the show as long as the fans are still enjoying what they offer. He further stated that the fun story of "The Big Bang Theory" is "worth continuing."
Meanwhile, it is also rumored that "The Big Bang Theory" will have a movie version coming up after season 10, although the series creators have not revealed any information regarding the matter. Kunal Nayyar, who plays the role of Raj, may not be down with the idea. Nayyar told E! News that a film adaptation of "The Big Bang Theory" would not match the usual style of the TV series, in which the cast are used to having a live audience in front of them.
