Fans Hope for a Reboot While Cast Shares Mixed Feelings
While fans have been begging for a reboot of The Big Bang Theory, Jim Parsons already voiced doubt about doing so again. “As we sit here now, no,” he mentioned to Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace in October. He elaborated, “It was so special as what it was. And they call it lightning in a bottle for a reason, and you can be certain it wouldn’t be that.” While Parsons didn’t completely rule out the idea, he admitted, “Why would we be doing it? I don’t know, that’s how I feel on that right now.”
