In an interview with US Weekly at the Television Industry Advocacy Awards (via Screen Rant), The Big Bang Theory co-creator Bill Prady reveals that he isn’t entirely sure how the long-running series will end when it wraps production after its 12th season.
“We’re approaching the final season the same way we’ve approached the 11 seasons before: with no planning whatsoever. From day one, we have never planned an arch for a season. We don’t plan ahead, we just kind of just tell the next story,” said Bill Prady, who helped launch the show with partner Chuck Lorre.
The final season of The Big Bang Theory will debut Monday, September 24 on CBS before moving to its regular time period on Thursday, September 27.
