Jim Parsons Doubles Down On The Big Bang Theory Reboot Chances: “I Could Imagine, But…”

Even though many fans still want to see The Big Bang Theory return, Jim Parsons hasn’t changed his mind about a revival. It’s been six years since the show ended on CBS with a two-part finale. The ending saw Sheldon achieve his lifelong goal of winning a Nobel Prize in Physics, and Leonard and Penny revealed they were expecting a baby.

Despite a somewhat uneven final season, The Big Bang Theory managed to give its characters a truly satisfying conclusion – something many long-running shows struggle to do. The show remains popular, which is why fans are still hoping for a reboot.

Despite ongoing requests from fans for a revival of The Big Bang Theory, Jim Parsons remains unconvinced. In a recent interview with US Weekly, the actor who played Sheldon Cooper stated that while he’s considered what a reboot could be like, he doesn’t believe it will actually happen. His complete statement is available below.

“I can’t imagine. Well, I could imagine, but no, I imagine no.”

The popular show The Big Bang Theory concluded after Jim Parsons decided he no longer wanted to play Sheldon Cooper following season twelve. While continuing the show without him was considered, the team ultimately decided against it, recognizing how crucial his character was to the show’s success. His decision initially caused some disagreement with co-stars Kaley Cuoco and Johnny Galecki, but they were able to resolve it.

Even after The Big Bang Theory ended, Jim Parsons remained connected to the franchise through Young Sheldon, where he narrated and produced the show. He even made a final on-screen appearance as Sheldon in the Young Sheldon finale – a flashforward scene that felt like a fitting goodbye to the character, and likely his last time playing him.

The main issue is that not all of the original cast members were fully informed about the story’s conclusion, leaving questions about Leonard and Penny’s fate and a lack of resolution for Raj’s storyline. While several of Jim Parsons’ former co-stars from The Big Bang Theory are eager to revisit their roles, it’s proving difficult to move forward with the project without his character, Sheldon.

Although The Big Bang Theory finished airing six years ago, Jim Parsons only recently finished playing the character of Sheldon Cooper with the conclusion of Young Sheldon last year. With some more time passing, he might be open to the idea of revisiting the role in a potential reboot.
