"We never really figured to be at year 11, let alone what's going to happen after 12. One could easily presume that would be the end of the series, but I'm just amazed we're here. We look at one episode at a time, that's what we've been doing for the last 10 years and it's gotten us this far," he said.

New CBS Entertainment president Kelly Kahl also pitched in to talk about the future of the show. When THR asked him if season 12 would be the end, he said, "As long as we can go; 20 years. I hope to have it as long as we can."

The upcoming seasons were in the spotlight when it was said that Warner Bros and CBS are pumping in $10 million dollars per episode. Most of which is going into the cast pockets. Sources close to THR revealed that the two production houses are dividing the cost of production.

The new season premieres this fall, a few weeks after Young Sheldon airs on TV. The Big Bang Theory's new season also features a new showrunner. Steve Holland is taking charge of season 11.
