Jim Parsons on Returning as Sheldon Cooper in ‘Big Bang Theory’ Sequel

Jim Parsons recently discussed the possibility of reprising his iconic role as Sheldon Cooper in a potential sequel to ‘The Big Bang Theory.’ In an interview with E! News, when asked what it would take for him to return, Parsons humorously responded, “Reincarnation, next lifetime.”

While he didn’t completely rule out the idea, Parsons suggested it’s unlikely. “Never say never to anything. Life is long, God-willing, but I don’t think so,” he remarked.

Parsons played Sheldon Cooper for 12 seasons on the CBS sitcom and recently reprised the role in the ‘Young Sheldon’ series finale, a prequel to the original show. Reflecting on this recent appearance, Parsons said, “It was very special to do that. The feeling today is kind of odd. It’s the second time now because when we ended ‘The Big Bang Theory’ it felt like this too, a little bit different, but you shoot that final episode and it’s wrapped for you. And then a couple of months later it wraps for the rest of the world and it’s a very weird feeling to flood over you again like that.”

In ‘Young Sheldon,’ Parsons served as the narrator. After the series finale, executive producer Steve Holland spoke about the possibility of bringing back Parsons and co-star Mayim Bialik. “I think in the back of our minds, it was always the thing we wanted. Certainly Jim, because he’d been narrating the whole thing,” Holland told Deadline.

Holland added that Chuck Lorre, co-creator of ‘The Big Bang Theory,’ had considered bringing back Parsons and Bialik for the finale, which aimed to honor the original cast while allowing the Cooper family to shine. “I’m really happy with the balance we found. I think that Jim and Mayim are in it a great amount, but I think the Cooper family still gets their moment to shine,” Holland concluded.
