“We are thrilled to be partnering with Warner Bros. Unscripted Television and Telepictures on a lookback podcast for one of the most beloved sitcoms of our times,” said Becky Rho, senior director of podcasts at Max. “We are always looking to amplify and deepen the fan experience for our subscribers who can’t get enough of their favorite titles on Max.”
The Big Bang Theory Universe has expanded since the titular show ended in 2019. CBS followed Big Bang Theory up with Young Sheldon, a prequel series following Jim Parsons’ character at a young age. With Young Sheldon wrapping up, CBS announced it was greenlighting a Young Sheldon spin-off featuring Georgie and Mandy, with Montana Jordan and Emily Osment reprising their roles. Georgie is Sheldon’s older brother and Mandy is his wife. The young couple has a baby in Young Sheldon, and the new series will explore their journey through parenthood.
Max is also working on another Big Bang Theory spinoff that will bring back Brian Posehn, Lauren Lapkus, and Kevin Sussman, along with co-creator Chuck Lorre at the helm. Whereas Young Sheldon and its spin-off are prequels, the newest Big Bang Theory show will take place in the current day. Jim Parsons tipped his hat on whether his character Sheldon Cooper would be making an appearance.
“As we sit here now, no, but I also would never say never to anything, because life changes so much,” Parsons said during an appearance on Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace?. “You know, one of the things is that it was so special as what it was, as what it is. And they call it lightning in a bottle for a reason, and you can be certain it wouldn’t be that. And so why would we be doing it? I don’t know, that’s how I feel on that right now. But like I say, God willing, life is very long.”
Episodes of The Official Big Bang Theory Podcast will drop weekly on Max and all major podcast platforms starting March 17th. All episodes of The Big Bang Theory are available to stream exclusively on Max. Will you be tuning into the new podcast? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!
