“Few shows define a generation and capture mainstream zeitgeist like The Big Bang Theory,” Robert Greenblatt, chairman of WarnerMedia Entertainment and direct-to-consumer, was quoted as saying by The Hollywood Reporter.

The Big Bang Theory concluded with its 12th season this May. The show starred Jim Parsons, Johnny Galecki and Kaley Cuoco among others. It was executive produced by Chuck Lorre, Bill Prady, Steve Mollaro and Steve Holland.
