Bazinga! CBS Renews The Big Bang Theory Through 2016-17

Top comedy earns another long-term pickup

Nerds rejoice: CBS has renewed The Big Bang Theory for another three years, ensuring that Leonard, Sheldon and the rest of the gang will be yukking it up through the 2016-17 broadcast TV season.

The duration of the pickup is not a shocker; when CBS last renewed Big Bang in January 2011, it was for a three-season run.

Now in its seventh season, Big Bang is broadcast’s top-rated scripted series, averaging a 5.3 in the adults 18-49 demo, per Nielsen live-plus-same-day data.
