Sorry, “Big Bang Theory” fans; if you were hoping to stay in denial of the fact that the CBS comedy is drawing to a close, Johnny Galecki isn’t going to be much help on that front.
Series star Galecki took to his Instagram account Wednesday to share a behind-the-scenes look with fans — and to offer a grim reminder that the show is wrapping up its run with its current 12th and final season.
Galecki, who has been sharing tributes to the people behind the scenes on the series in recent weeks, honored the writers with Wednesday’s post, posting a photo of himself surrounded by the wordsmiths of the series.
He also noted that “there are no longer any future episodes to discuss,” a first for the series.
“The illustrious @bigbangtheory_cbs Writer’s Room, where (at least) 278 stories have been imagined and built by the incredible minds of (L-R) @goetech @billprady #andygordon #mariaferrari @mildmanneredsteveholland #chucklorre #adamfaberman @misstarahernandez #erickaplan @stevemolaro #jeremyhowe @anthonydelbroccolo,” the actor wrote.
Galecki added, “(Note the empty white board behind us as there are no longer any future episodes to discuss. A first in 12 years.)”
In March, CBS announced that the series would end its run with a one-hour finale on Thursday, May 16 from 8 to 9 p.m. ET/PT.
