’00s TV star confirms she would ‘100%’ return to her most iconic role

It’s been five years since The Big Bang Theory ended and fans are still talking about a reunion.

We’ve been treated to a prequel spinoff Young Sheldon with George & Mandy’s First Marriage on the way, but everyone really wants to know how the gang is doing.

The original show ran from 2007 to 2019, with fans growing to love the antics of Sheldon (Jim Parsons), Leonard (Johnny Galecki), Howard (Simon Helberg), Raj (Kunal Hayyar) and Penny (Kaley Cuoco).

Well, we might be in luck, as Kaley admitted, despite having a lot of work to do since the show ended, she was thrilled to reprise her most famous role in the future.

When asked about possibly reprising her role, the 38-year-old actress told People magazine, “I would absolutely reprise that role. 100%. I love that character, and I always will.”

Kaley admitted that working on the iconic sitcom gave her some of the “best years” of her life and that she will be forever grateful to creator Chuck Lorre.

“I played that role for 12 years, and it really boosted my career,” she reflected. “I owe a lot to that character, to that show, to (creator) Chuck Lorre. They were some of the best years of my life, and some of the most fun I’ve ever had.”

However, she is still focused on the present and the future, and she can now be seen in the second series of her Peacock show Based on a True Story.

‘I’m so excited about it. We had a great time shooting season one and I think we made season two even better,” Kaley added. ‘It’s very funny. It’s very dark… and I’m excited.”

While there’s no word on a revival with the core cast all returning, Variety recently reported that a new spinoff is now in development that will focus on other characters, including comic book owner Stuart Bloom.

Kevin Sussman’s alter ego was a hit with fans, appearing in more than 80 episodes and eventually becoming a series regular.

Now it’s believed he could return for the spin-off, which will also see actors Brian Posehn and Lauren Lapkus appear.

Brian played geologist Bert Kibbler, who was in love with Amy (Mayim Bialik), in 15 episodes of season six, while Laurens Denise was the assistant manager at the comic book store and became Stuart’s love interest.

According to reports, the three stars are under ‘talent holding deals’ for now, with the show still in development and yet to be officially greenlit for a full series.
