Currently, 'The Big Bang Theory' Season 11 is stirring a lot of hot air between CBS and Warner Bros. who want to renew the popular series. Both the network and the producers are worried that as the casts' contracts have expired, they may not choose to return to the new season.
The fans of 'The Big Bang Theory' rest on the hope that Season 11 will definitely be back with a big premiere in September 2017, as the creator as well as producer of the show, Chuck Lorre, has given an assurance. Even as far back as March 2014, the show was granted an extension of three additional years for 2016 through 2017. Will the show really return?
It appears so. There are rumors that Johnny Galecki, Jim Parsons and Kaley Cuoco, three of the main casts who were said to have left, have now agreed that their renewal is assured, even as they are being paid 'only' $1 million per episode. The cast is hoping that a close deal will be struck between the producers and show runners, along with a deal for the casting of the entire outfit, according to gamenguide.
With the three main actors, Jim Parsons, Kaley Cuoco and Johnny Galecki each commanding $1 million per episode, while the supporting cast's salaries are also high in the range of $900,000, the cost of producing the show for each episode has been almost as high as $9 million. Yet the returns are definitely higher than that, or the producers would not look to rerun the show.
The plot involves two physicists Leonard Hofstadter (Johnny Galecki and Sheldon Cooper (Jim Parsons) both busy at Caltech. As they live and work with other geeky colleagues, they set off some hilarious scenes that have made it the most popular show on TV.
It was Glenn Geller, the President of the CBS network, who is hopeful of optimistic times for "The Big Bang Theory" Season 11. He appears to be confident of Warner Bros. decision to renew the series. Yet, he also seems to be concerned that the fans should stay with the show too. "We are very confident that everyone involved wants more Big Bang past Year 10." Geller said via TV Line. "I know Warner Bros will make those deals... We'll put it on for as long as everyone wants Big Bang on the air. I hope it lasts forever."
The latest season is expected to be a big hit even as it comes back to the screen by September 2017
