The star-cast included Kaley Cuoco as Penny, the lovable neighbour who moves in across the hall from two nerdy Caltech physicists – the genius Sheldon and his roommate Leonard (played by Jim Parsons and Johnny Galecki), their just as socially-awkward friends astrophysicist Raj Koothrapalli (Kunal Nayyar) who is goofy and terrified of talking to women, and aerospace engineer Howard Wolowitz (Simon Helberg) who dons skinny pants like they were specially made for him.
The news that the sitcom was coming to an end came as a shock to the viewers and the cast, given that the series was reportedly in talks to be renewed for a 13th season. But Jim Parsons’ decision to discontinue the show ended all hopes for ‘The Big Bang Theory’ reboot, much to the dismay of cast member Kaley Cuoco who is championing the idea.
Kaley and the cast are still upset about the show’s untimely end
While the programming team at CBS was confident that season 12 wouldn’t mark the end of ‘The Big Bang Theory’s’ successful 12-year run, they went from announcing 2 new seasons to announcing the end of the series in just two weeks.
While the announcement came from the network, the real reason behind it was Jim Parsons’ decision to discontinue playing Sheldon Cooper, the show’s breakout character. His decision became a catalyst for the network to end the show. Jim gave the show’s fans closure and explained why he chose not to continue, as reported by “The Hollywood Reporter”.

“There was no factor; there was no situation that I was like, ‘Well, I’ve had enough of that.’ No. There was nothing like that. It was just … when you know, you know. And you’re susceptible and thrown around by the whims of your own existence and getting to a certain age and your life changes and suddenly you just think different”, Parsons confessed.
The cast was heartbroken, with Kaley Cuoco pouring her heart out in an emotional post on Instagram. She said the show’s end left her “drowning in tears”.
“We are forever grateful to our fans for their support of ‘The Big Bang Theory’ during the past twelve seasons”, WBTV and Chuck Lorre Productions said in a statement.
