Kaley Cuoco, beloved for her role as Penny on The Big Bang Theory, has revealed she would have gladly stayed on the hit sitcom for two decades if given the chance. In a recent interview, Cuoco expressed deep affection for the series and her castmates, stating that she was never ready for it to end. “I would have done it for 20 years,” she said, emphasizing the strong bond she had with the show and its loyal fan base.
The Big Bang Theory, which ran for 12 seasons from 2007 to 2019, became a cultural phenomenon and one of the most successful sitcoms in television history. Cuoco’s portrayal of Penny, the charming and witty neighbor-turned-wife of Leonard Hofstadter (Johnny Galecki), helped define the series’ heart and humor.
When asked about the possibility of a spin-off or reunion, Cuoco was enthusiastic. “If the call came, I’d definitely be open,” she said. While no official plans have been announced, her willingness fuels excitement among fans who miss the quirky gang of physicists and their dynamic with Penny.
Cuoco has since built a successful career beyond Big Bang, including a lead role in The Flight Attendant, which earned her critical acclaim and Emmy nominations. Still, she admits that The Big Bang Theory remains a defining and cherished part of her life.
With Cuoco’s openness and continued fan demand, a spin-off or reunion might not be entirely out of the question. For now, viewers can take comfort in knowing that one of their favorite stars is just as nostalgic — and hopeful — as they are.
