Today at the Television Critics Association winter tour, Glenn Geller admitted that CBS “are the victims of our own success.” He went on to add that “We have a lot of shows that have run a long time, and we expect Big Bang Theory to be on for a while.” When pressed for further details, Geller said that, for CBS, season 10 will not be the last for the show. “We’d love it to come back.”
Of course the show gets more and more expensive to produce the longer it remains on air. The actors and producer salaries continue to grow, so does the production costs.
CBS is not the only decision maker, as Warner Bros. Television owns the show and both networks must come to an agreement. CBS is a strong negotiator and one of the most lucrative networks in the business so it is highly anticipated that the show will continue to air well past Season 10.
Then there are the actor contracts. Mayim Bialik and Melissa Rauch will need to negotiate new contracts beyond Season 10 all will have to have new contracts if the show goes beyond Season 11.
However, CBS is expressed confidence that they believe the show will go beyond season 10 and so we look forward to updated news as the season progresses.
