The Big Bang Theory rinnovata per le stagioni 11 e 12 di Diego Castelli
Altri due anni di Sheldon & Co.
Per un po’ si era parlato della decima come dell’ultima stagione di The Big Bang Theory. Se ne vociferava non tanto in termini di ascolti (ancora molto buoni nonostante un leggero calo), quanto in termini di stipendi, voglia del cast di fare altro ecc, nel classico meccanismo internettiano autoalimentante per cui insieme a perplessità legittime ne arrivavano altre palesemente inventate.
Com’è, come non è, CBS è arrivata a fare chiarezza: The Big Bang Theory è stata rinnovata per altre due stagioni, l’undicesima e la dodicesima.
Ora i fan possono tirare un sospiro di sollievo, mentre quelli che l’hanno abbandonata da tempo possono continuare a lamentarsi dell’abbassamento di qualità della serie, magari aggiungendo un po’ di acrimonia per il prossimo spin-off dedicato all’infanzia di Sheldon.
Andremo avanti così almeno per altre due stagioni, dunque, il che ha comunque qualcosa di coccoloso e rassicurante, che apparteniate all’una o all’altra fazione…
