Mayim Bialik Counters Sheldon Actor’s Comments On A Potential The Big Bang Theory Reboot: “With All Due Respect To Jim

Mayim Bialik counters Jim Parsons’ comments about the possibility of a   the big bang theory reboot. It has been more than 5 years since the big bang theory ended  with a two-part special that saw Sheldon and Amy winning the Nobel Prize in Physics. Despite being an ensemble show, the CBS sitcom shifted its focus towards the fan-favorite couple towards the end of the project for an uneven final year. Chuck Lorre and his team were still able to stage a largely satisfying send-off to the Pasadena gang, but considering its continued popularity, questions about the revival persist.

When asked about the matter, Bialik has a markedly different stance on doing The Big Bang Theory than Parsons in a new interview with  The Sheldon actor has shut down the potential when asked about it, although he admitted that life is long and anything can still happen. All he knows is that, for now, he is not open to the idea. Bialik, however, acknowledges the continued interest in the Pasadena gang and is more than happy to jump back into the shoes of Amy. Read her full quote below:

“With all due respect to Jim, I think that there’s a lot of interest and love for these characters and I’d be super happy to get to revisit [it] in any way,” she said. “I think we all really have a lot of respect for the brand as it were and for what we were able to create. I was thrilled to get to still work with Jim and do some stuff on Young Sheldon. But for me, I understand the specialness and would love the opportunity to revisit Amy if it ever came up.”

Can A The Big Bang Theory Reboot Happen Without Sheldon?

Sheldon Was Its True Main Character

Like  The Big Bang Theory ended not because there was a lack of interest in it. The nerd-centric sitcom wrapped up because Parsons decided to leave the show after season 12. Technically, the rest of the cast could still have continued the series, since the majority of them were still open to staying. That said, they eventually realized that The Big Bang Theory was nothing without Sheldon. So, they decided to bow out as a complete cast.

Those who want to participate can stage a The Big Bang Theory reboot, but it will not be nearly as satisfying without Sheldon. As annoying as he was, he was the glue that kept the Pasadena gang together. On the rare occasions that he wasn’t at the center of its storytelling, he always managed to steal scenes with his antics. Part of it was due to the character’s writing and the rest was because of Parsons’ performance. So, even if the other cast members wanted to do the revival, not having Sheldon would likely cause the plan to collapse.

Our Take On A The Big Bang Theory Reboot In 2025

It Will Unlikely Happen This Year

For starters, Lorre is busy with Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage, which is essentially Young Sheldon‘s sequel. Aside from that, he is also working on Stuart’s The Big Bang Theory spinoff. No release date has been set, but the project has been in development for quite a while now, which means that it can easily start production in the coming months. Because of this, seeing the Pasadena gang reunite may take a little while longer.
