Kaley Cuoco comments on The Big Bang Theory‘s next spinoff, which inches the franchise closer to learning if Leonard is really dead. It has been five years since the nerd-centric sitcom wrapped up its 12-season run, although the franchise it kickstarted continues to thrive with its period spinoffs. Now, the universe is expanding in modern times with a new show that will bring back Stuart Bloom, Denise, and Bert. While the third The Big Bang Theory offshoot will not feature the Pasadena gang members as regular cast members, it can still offer new content about the beloved friend group.
Despite an uneven final season, The Big Bang Theory finale did a good job of giving its core cast a satisfying send-off. It left the characters in such a high place, granted that some had better fates than others. While Young Sheldon eventually broke away from its parent series, its flashforward narration and scenes offered new information about the rest of Sheldon’s California family. Although occasionally, they created additional questions. That was exactly what happened when the Young Sheldon finale floated the possibility that Leonard may be dead.
Kaley Cuoco Is Open To Reprising Penny In The Big Bang Theory’s Stuart Spinoff
Recently, Cuoco has revealed that she is open to returning in The Big Bang Theory spinoff as Penny. Admittedly, it is still too early to be invested in this possibility. The offshoot is still in the early stages of development, with no confirmed release date. That said, it’s great to know that if Chuck Lorre decides to bring back Penny, he won’t have any problems recruiting Cuoco to do it. Seeing one of the most popular The Big Bang Theory characters again after five years is already exciting, but it can also offer a definitive answer to Leonard’s fate.
Kaley Cuoco’s The Big Bang Theory Spinoff Return Can Finally Resolve The Leonard Is Dead Mystery
Plot details about the new The Big Bang Theory spinoff are still scant at the moment. However, regardless of what Stuart and the rest are up to this time, Penny can offer any kind of update about her life, which is tied to Leonard’s situation. The Big Bang Theory finale revealed that the couple was expecting their first child, so seeing her reunite with Stuart would naturally bring up a conversation about how she and her family are. This could effectively confirm or deny whether Leonard is actually gone, which was something that the Young Sheldon finale heavily hinted at.
Even if the new The Big Bang Theory spinoff doesn’t directly address the claims that her husband may be dead, it would be difficult for the show to get away with not sharing any kind of information about Leonard if Penny appears. As beloved as the Young Sheldon finale was, there was disappointment that it didn’t feature more The Big Bang Theory references. If anything, Penny coming in and not mentioning her husband and kid could raise more questions, and make this mystery more intriguing. In the end, involving her means getting new information about Leonard.
