"The Big Bang Theory" star Mayim Bialik says the cast members of the comedy series are ready to go their separate ways amid rumors that season 12 will be its last.

The 42-year-old actress recently won the Critics Choice for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy for her role as Amy Farrah Fowler. Talking to reporters following her win, Bialik said the entire "Big Bang" cast is very proud of what they do.

"We do a very different kind of television than a lot of the shows that we're up against and have been up against for a decade now," she told reporters.

Bialik also praised series creator Chuck Lorre for his work on the four-camera sitcom, the only one of its kind left. She, however, ended her statement with a subtle reference to the series' end.

"I think everyone will be really happy to do other things in their life," Bialik said, before reiterating, that the cast love what they do.

The actress, who plays Sheldon's (Jim Parsons) wife in the series, went on to talk about his two boys, who she indirectly said she would rather spend her time with more than filming. "It's really where will they be in a year and what will my life be like as their mom, as a person who also gets paid to play dress up?" she explained.

Bialik's statement comes just a week after co-star Johnny Galecki (Leonard Hofstadter), expressed his desire to end the show after season 12.

"I think at this point everyone's very comfortable with 12 seasons being a good time to go home and see our families," he told a group of reporters at the 2018 TCA Winter Press Tour.

Looks like the 10-year series, which premiered in 2007, is ready to give way to its successor, the single-camera prequel comedy "Young Sheldon."

"The Big Bang Theory" season 11, which also stars Kaley Cuoco (Penny), Simon Helberg (Howard), Kunal Nayyar (Raj) and Melissa Rauch (Bernadette), is currently airing on CBS on Thursdays, 8 p.m. EDT.
