It Is Still Happening, Albeit More Slowly Than The Franchise’s Other Spinoffs
Between Lorre’s comments and Sussman, Posehn, and Lapkus signing onto the series, the spinoff appears to be actively moving forward. The announcement coming in 2025 may simply be that the spinoff is officially greenlit, as even with the threeBig Bang Theorycast memberssigning onto the project, it is still in development.Being greenlit will officially make theBig Bang Theoryspinoff a realityand will allow the series to begin moving closer to production.

Our Take On Chuck Lorre’s Comments
The Update Will Likely Paint A Clearer Picture Of The Spinoff
Lorre’s promise of an update coming in 2025 bodes well for the upcoming spinoff. While Stuart, Bert, and Denise were all entertaining in the original show, it remains to be seen if their characters can lead an entire series. Theannouncement in 2025 can provide more information about the spinoff’s storyand who will be in it. This update could create further appeal, as by themselves, Stuart, Bert, and Denise may not be enough to makeThe Big Bang Theoryspinoff as compelling as the franchise’s other shows.
The Big Bang Theory
The Big Bang Theory is a media franchise that has expanded from the original titular TV show that follows a group of friends who live near and with one another as they attempt to bridge social gaps due to their geeky nature and further their scientific pursuits. The show eventually spun off with a TV special and a prequel series, Young Sheldon, which follows the origins of Sheldon Cooper and how he rose to become the brilliant physicist he is.
