Just like any other tv show, CBS’ comedy series “The Big Bang Theory” is facing endless rumors on the storyline, new season renewal and the length of stay of its cast members. Recently, Kaley Cuoco (Penny) joins the rumor mill with her alleged uncertain future in the popular sitcom.
A report noted that Cuoco is on the verge of being terminated from the popular series. While the cast members are in the process of renewing their contracts, Cuoco is presumed to exit the show if given the chance. Previously, the actress has mentioned that 10 seasons for "The Big Bang Theory" is enough. Her statement sparked fans to assume that "The Big Bang Theory" season 10 might be the final chapter for the soap or she might not reprise her role in the eleventh installment.
Furthermore, the 30-year old celebrity is allegedly demanding a higher pay which the showrunners refused. According to Toronto Sun, Cuoco, co- stars Jim Parsons and Johnny Galecki “make $1 million per episode under the current contract, while Kunal Nayyar and Simon Helberg each make $750,00 per episode. Mayim Bialik and Rauch each earn $100,000 per episode. 'The Big Bang Theory' men were all among the top five highest paid TV actors on Forbes' 2016 list, while Cuoco was number two on Forbes' highest paid TV actresses list.”
Another reason greatly believed for Cuoco’s possible departure is her jealousy on the attention given to the pregnancy plot of co-star Melissa Rauch's character Bernadette, who is expecting a baby with husband Howard Wolowitz.
While these rumors are not yet being addressed by the actress herself, it is better to watch the upcoming episode of the famous sitcom that will see Sheldon's desire of moving out after finding out Amy’s lies.
