Earlier this year many fans were worried The Big Bang Theory wouldn’t continue past season 10. It seemed the actors and network had been in negotiations forever, and there was no end in sight.

The Hollywood Reporter reported that the actors would each take a $100,000 pay cut to ensure Mayim Bialik and Melissa Rauch were given fair pay. Henry Schafer, a television expert, even noted of the cast members, “They are driving tune-in more than the storylines. You have strong negotiating power with this kind of evidence that demonstrates engagement with American TV viewers.” 

However, it seems the discourse might have just been assumed and didn’t happen. CBS CEO Leslie Moonves said, “I don’t think it was terribly trying…(Warner Bros. Entertainment CEO) Kevin (Tsujihara) and I met with the cast. We presented them with where the show was. We wanted to make this a happy experience.”

She put to rest rumors that some major stars want to pull out after spending so long on a series.

We love being there, and you know, I don’t ever want it to end, but you know how it is.”

We all really love each other, we love going to work and we’re very excited to do two more seasons.”
