Earlier this week, word came out that the popular pop culture comedy series the Big Bang Theory was coming to an end after twelve long seasons on CBS. Though some felt like the series had stretched it out a bit too much, fans definitely weren't ready to hear that The Big Bang Theory would be officially closing out its doors when it finishes its 12th season in 2019.
Now, with fans busy mourning the loss of their loved series, Big Bang Theory star Jim Parsons decides to send out a letter expressing all of the gratitude he feels after the many, many years he's been with everyone.
Taking to Instagram, Parsons, the actor who plays the eidetic Sheldon Cooper, decided to share a photo of the main cast of The Big Bang Theory and post a letter along with it.
"It's hard (nearly impossible, actually) to really accept that this is a picture of the first of the final 24 episodes we will shoot of The Big Bang Theory," Parsons wrote. "I feel very fortunate that we have another 23 episodes to shoot this season because I am hopeful that with each and every one, my level of REALLY accepting this fact will sink in. Something else I feel grateful for - and this gratitude needs no time to 'sink in' or become more 'realized;' this grateful feeling is always with me but is multiplied in this moment of announcing our final season - but I feel such intense gratitude for our devoted viewers who are the ACTUAL reason we have been graced with the opportunity to explore these characters for 12 years of our lives."
Twelve years is a really long time, and for some it's pretty hard to accept that the series is going to come to an end very soon. Still, the show has another season to go, and with 23 more episodes to its name, The Big Bang Theory has every opportunity to bow out with a bang. We definitely can't wait to see what's going to happen in the last batch of episodes of The Big Bang Theory.
