CBS television sitcom, The Big Bang Theory, often known as TBBT, has been rumored to have been renewed for another season. Fans and runners of the American sitcom, which is currently in its 10th season, are positive that this will happen despite previous reports discussing about its rumored cancellation.
However, recent reports have speculated that two of the series' main cast have been written off of the upcoming script. Actor John Galecki, who portrays physicist Leonard Hofstadter, and Kaley Cuoco, who stars as Leonard's wife and former waitress at the earlier seasons, Penny, are rumored to be excluded for the eleventh season.
Previous reports have stated that the show might end after the tenth season and the reason cited was because of Galecki and Cuoco's demands of higher salaries. It has also been reported that that the two celebrities, together with the sitcom's other main cast, Jim Parsons, who portrays physicist Sheldon Cooper have each been receiving a whopping $1 million per episode of the show.
According to Mobile & Apps, since the show are not going to be able to give the stars the salary increase they wanted, they are instead going to change the storyline into something that excludes them from the sitcom.
Although it has been rumored to be cancelling after Season 10, a source confirmed that the show will indeed return for a brand new season. But this time, without the two stars.
It has been also stated by the aforementioned source that initially, Cuoco was the only one on the brink of termination. But Galecki insisted that he will not return if the 30-year old actress will not be in the eleventh season, saying that the show will be much different without Penny in it.
Moreover, another report had stated that the issue about higher salary demands was not the only reason why Cuoco is possibly written off of the next script. Reports indicate that she allegedly felt jealous over the fact that the next season will possibly focus attention on the characters of Melissa Rauch (Bernadette) and husband Howard Wollowitz (Simon Helberg).
Bernadette is expecting a baby with her husband, Howard. Reports further claim that apparently, Cuoco felt that she's not given enough spotlight and wanted her character to be pregnant as well. She reportedly stated that if this don't happen, she will not return for another reason.
However, the speculations were not confirmed by the show and the studio yet and followers of the show are only waiting for official statements as of this moment.
