Regardless of some pondering the present went on for too lengthy, The Huge Bang Idea is undoubtedly among the many hottest sitcoms of the trendy period, and I absolutely count on the spinoff-oozing franchise to stay on the air for so long as The Simpsons. A much less sure query could be the place the franchise’s future will likely be set, and one CBS boss shared ideas on the upcoming spinoff heading to the 2025 premiere schedule through streaming as an alternative of community TV.
Following the prequelized pair of offshoots — the dramedy Younger Sheldon and its multicam follow-up Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage — Chuck Lorre and Invoice Prady’s Huge Bang universe is increasing with its first devoted streaming output for followers with Max subscriptions, which is able to heart on a number of returning characters from the O.G. sitcom resembling Kevin Sussman’s Stuart and Lauren Lapkus’ Denise. CBS’ leisure president Amy Reisenbach was requested by The Ankler concerning the transition, and he or she says it was past her decision-making. In her phrases:
It was by no means introduced into us. Clearly that was one thing that Warner Bros. and Max labored on collectively. However it was not introduced into our aspect of the enterprise. As a fan of all issues Chuck Lorre and Huge Bang Idea, I’m thrilled that there’ll proceed to be extra of the Huge Bang Idea universe. As a community president, after all I’m dissatisfied, however such is life.
Such duality is comprehensible on this case. CBS execs can presently boast Georgie & Mandy as considered one of its larger freshman hits lately, so the community will not be precisely missing in BBT-verse content material. And even when it does not share the identical house, any Huge Bang continuation will solely assist to maintain the franchise alive, thus leaving the door open for CBS to choose up different spinoffs sooner or later. So I might even be “thrilled” for such a risk, regardless of it maybe not being the primary intuition.

However then clearly I also can perceive why Amy Reisenbach and different CBS fits could be dissatisfied that Chuck Lorre & Co. apparently did not even name or ship a memo to alert anybody that the subsequent multicam chapter was being eyed for Max. Not that it appears to have been a rushed desicion, since it has been in varied levels of growth for the previous couple of years.
The “streaming vs. community” debate might be much less intense than the “ought to all of the previous stars reprise their roles?” dialog, which already has Mayim Bialik’s game-to-return enthusiasm on the other finish of the spectrum from Jim Parsons’ hesitance to play Sheldon once more after Younger Sheldon‘s finale look.
Contemplating Netflix boss Ted Sarandos’ stance on conventional sitcoms, there could be a future the place the streaming large drops a mint on unique rights to its personal nook of the Huge Bang Idea franchise. However till then, all 12 seasons of the sitcom will be streamed on Max.
