The Big Bang Theory will air its final episode in 2019

It first hit TV screens in 2007

Warner Bros have confirmed that The Big Bang Theory will air its final episode next year before coming to an end. It will bring an end to the longest-running multi-camera series in television history. In a joint statement, Warner Bros. Television, CBS and Chuck Lorre Productions said: “We are forever grateful to our fans for their support of The Big Bang Theory during the past 12 seasons. We, along with the cast, writers and crew, are extremely appreciative of the show’s success and aim to deliver a final season, and series finale, that will bring The Big Bang Theory to an epic creative close.” The twelfth season of the show will begin airing in September this year and wrap up in May 2019. Last season, Big Bang Theory averaged a whopping 18.6 million viewers. Despite its lack of actual humour, throughout its 11 year lifespan, the sitcom has received 52 Emmy nominations and 10 wins to date.
