The decision to end the show came shortly after Jim Parsons decided not to renew his contract if the show was given a 13th season. Creator Chuck Lorre couldn’t imagine a show without the famous character Sheldon Cooper and took the decision to cancel the show altogether.

The Hollywood Reporter wrote that Parsons said: “It was the first time in my life of doing this show that it occurred to me that I might want to not do another contract after season 12 was up. I don’t know if it’s because I’m an Aries or just because maybe I’m in touch with myself. Whatever it is, once I had that thought, I was like, ‘Well, that’s your answer”.
