Looks like we might have to wait a few more years for that.

Summary:

  • Another The Big Bang Theory spinoff is on its “prenatal” stage, says Chuck Lorre.
  • There’s still no information on what the new show will be about.
  • The fans wanted a show with Sheldon and Leonard’s kids as main characters.

When a show becomes a hit, it usually means that there will be a spinoff at some point. This happened with The Big Bang Theory, and as a result, we got Young Sheldon, the prequel show that became even more successful than its predecessor.

Another spinoff was only a question of time – and a question The Big Bang Theory creator Chuck Lorre had to answer many times. In April of this year, it was confirmed that the new series would be created, but unfortunately, the writers' strike started almost right after that and put everything in the industry on hold for several months.

However, now that the strike is over, many projects have picked up where they left off, so it was only natural that Lorre has recently been asked about the upcoming The Big Bang Theory spinoff one more time.

In an interview with TVLine, Lorre gave a rather mysterious update on the show.

It seems that the show is still in its early stages, because the showrunner called it "prenatal," which means that there's nothing concrete to say about the future series. Lorre said that he doesn't have any other news about the matter and that just means that there is no chance that the fans of the franchise will get the new show anytime soon.

The fandom is really waiting for the show and in the meantime they are brainstorming about what it could be about. Over the years, there have been a lot of ideas, and each of them seemed worthy of its own show.

For example, the most popular ones were about the younger versions of the rest of the gang. Many fans suggested that there should be a spinoff about Paige from Young Sheldon, but it's not something that can be considered a spinoff of The Big Bang Theory.

What Can The Big Bang Theory Spinoff Be About?

Recently, the discussion has taken another turn, with fans coming up with even more interesting ideas.

“In my opinion, the only spin off that would work post Big Bang would be a movie or limited run (6 episodes or so) of Sheldon or Leonard being a father. A wacky adventure comedy starring the lads and ladies in an early 2000s esh comedy romp having to deal with "The Next Generation". Their kids going off to college or something along those lines,” Redditor sethcole96 said.

While we are still waiting for a more informative update, you can rewatch The Big Bang Theory on Max or Prime Video.

Would you want a kids-centered spinoff?
