The Big Bang Theory’s ending is approaching, and they’re making sure it goes out, well, with one hell of a bang.

Show creator Chuck Lorre has confirmed plans to run two episodes on the show’s final airdate, which is still yet to be confirmed.

With nine episodes to go, the show creator told TVLine that they will be saying farewell to the Pasadena nerds with a double bill episodes.

‘It will be an hour — two episodes that will connect. It will be two separate episodes that will have a through line,’ he confirmed.

The series has been running for 12 staggering seasons, making the show the longest running sitcom filmed in front of a live-studio audience ever.



Cheers previously held the title, but they knocked it off the top spot.

In the run up to the show’s final episodes, the series was given the honour of having their studio officially named after them on the Warner Bros California lot.

Only five shows have ever been given this honour, with Friends being one of them.

Kaley Cuoco, who plays Penny on the show, has admitted she’s ‘already losing it’ ahead of the show ending, and there’s a guarantee tears will be shed when the show wraps.

But in the meantime, they’re having dozens of celebrities dropping by for their chance at a cameo, including William Shatner in the most epic game of Dungeons and Dragons ever, and basketball star Kareen Abdul-Jabaar being literally twice the size of regular Melissa Rauch.
