sitcom ''
The Big Bang Theory'' aired on
CBS from September 25, 2017 to May 10, 2018.

CBS renewed the series for two additional seasons, bringing its total to twelve and securing that the series would run through the

Production

Filming for the eleventh season began on August 15, 2017; it was also announced with the taping report that the premiere for the eleventh season would be titled "The Proposal Proposal". Before the season premiered, five episodes were filmed from August 15 to September 19, 2017.
According to ''
TV Guide'', Steve Holland announced on September 22, 2017, that both
Bob Newhart and
