"The Big Bang Theory" season 10 is set to premiere before the end of the month and actress Kaley Cuoco has hinted on whether or not this may be the final outing for the series.
Speaking on "Jimmy Kimmel Live," the actress explained that a lot has happened over the course of the show and that the actors have all gone through changes over the years. However, the key statement was when she stated that renewal beyond season 10 was a matter of expenses and finance.
"It's a very expensive question," she stated when asked if there was a chance for season 11 and beyond. She then diverted the issue by joking that she had undergone a lot of wardrobe changes and hairstyles due to how she had aged over the course of the show.
However, fans point out that the show is beginning to get more expensive with each new season. Season 9 in particularly had been delayed due to the studios having to work out new negotiations with the cast members who were demanding a higher salary per episode. It is likely the expenses will go up for future seasons.
In a separate interview with "The Talk" (via CBS), Cuoco did state that she and the rest of the cast were all aiming to keep on going and let the show move forward with more seasons.
"We're so in love with each other, and we still have so much fun, that I can safely say we want to be here as long as possible—we're nowhere near done," Cuoco stated.
As it stands the cast may all be ready to keep coming back for more seasons beyond season 10 but at the end of the day, it will be a matter of the studios agreeing to spend as much as needed for their paychecks and for the usual expenses of the show.
"The Big Bang Theory" season 10 is scheduled to premiere on Monday, Sept. 19, at 8 p.m. ET on CBS.
