The seven-time Emmy-winning sitcom starring Jim Parsons is coming to an end after 12 series, and his co-star Mayim Bialik recently spoke about the “grief” she will feel when bidding farewell to the show.
However, the show’s spin-off, Young Sheldon, was recently renewed for a third and fourth series.
