All the fans of "The Big Bang Theory" who are worried about the fate of the comedy series do not need to lose heart over the fact that Season 11 has not been confirmed as yet. Even if it is not, viewers can have their dose of comedy with a Sheldon prequel.
Yes, there is good news. The CBS network is developing a spinoff of "The Big Bang Theory" and it would focus on the younger and teenage version of Sheldon Cooper, claims The Hollywood Reporter. According to sources, the said prequel will continue with co-creators Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady as well as showrunner Steve Molaro.
However, no one from the star cast would be seen in the project. Not even Jim Parson, who plays the character of Sheldon in the comedy series. Nevertheless, he would be involved in the prequel as an executive producer. The only actor who might be making an appearance could be Laurie Metcalf as she plays the role of Sheldon's mother in "The Big Bang Theory" and thus, has a good chance of reprising her role.
Speaking of "The Big Bang Theory," it is being said that the Sheldon prequel is a replacement for the show as Season 11 has been canceled, claims International Business Times. Notably, the show has not been renewed for the next season and the contracts of Kaley Cuoco, Jim Parson, and Johnny Galecki will expire after the ongoing tenth season.
Still, no official announcement about "The Big Bang Theory" Season 11 has been made and thus, it is still not clear if it will finally materialize or not. Though CBS president Glenn Geller has expressed hopes about the actors returning for the next season, the actors have not expressed any such sentiment. What is known is that they have asked for a raise in their salary and the negotiations are still on.
Coming back to the prequel, it has also been not confirmed yet and an official announcement is still awaited.
