E! News checked in with several former stars of The Big Bang Theory as the sitcom approaches two decades since it began. The article looks at where the cast members are now and how they feel about returning to the universe they helped build.
Kaley Cuoco told People that her role as Penny was a major turning point in her career. She said she spent 12 years playing the character and called the series some of the best and most fun years of her life.
Jim Parsons, who played Sheldon Cooper, recently said on the All Out with Jon Dean podcast that he was not happy during much of his time on the show. He said he often felt miserable and under pressure while trying to keep up with the demands of the role, and he has said he does not believe he would do a reboot.
HBO Max recently released the spinoff Stuart Fails to Save the Universe, which stars Kevin Sussman as Stuart. Lauren Lapkus told E! News there will be lots of cameos and Easter eggs in the series, while Cuoco has said she would absolutely reprise Penny someday. E! News also noted that Cuoco is currently expecting her second baby with fiancé Tom Pelphrey.
