After twelve years, the long-running CBS comedy The Big Bang Theory is coming to an end. We’ve seen a lot of growth from every main character on the show, but it’s anyone’s guess where they’ll all be heading by the end of the show.
The two-part series finale airs tomorrow, Thursday, May 16th beginning at 8/7c with The Big Bang Theory Season 12 Episode 23, “The Change Constant,” followed by The Big Bang Theory Season 12 Episode 24, “The Stockholm Syndrome.”
We’ll hopefully find out some good news for Sheldon and Amy when it comes to their Nobel Prize, and Leonard and Penny have a secret they’re trying to hide. It seems like change is coming one way or another.
Check out the episode descriptions, photos, and promo video below for a preview of The Big Bang Theory’s series finale. (And go ahead and get your tissues ready while you’re at it.)
Episode descriptions: Sheldon and Amy await big news. / Bernadette and Wolowitz leave their kids for the first time, Penny and Leonard try to keep a secret, Sheldon and Amy stick together, and Koothrappali makes a new friend as the gang travels together into an uncharted future.
