The Big Bang Theory is ready to go out with a bang with May 16 set as finale date putting its 12-season run to an end.
The hit sitcom will close with an hour-long series finale at 8 pm, as per reports.
UK broadcaster E4 will air the episode at a later date that is yet to be confirmed.
The programme will end in after 279 episodes, making it the longest-running multi-camera series in television history.
Since the announcement was made, it's become pretty clear that Jim Parsons, who plays Sheldon Cooper on the show, seemed to be the most influential cast member in the decision.
Starring Jim Parsons, Kaley Cuoco, Johnny Galecki, Mayim Bialik, Melissa Rauch, Simon Helberg, and Kunal Nayyar, 'Big Bang' is one of the most popular shows on television.
Only seven new episodes remain till the finale.
The show's finale will be followed by the second season finale of 'Big Bang' beloved spin-off 'Young Sheldon', led by Iain Armitage's younger version of the popular character, which also voice stars Parsons.
It was Parsons who in a way set the ball in motion for show's end when he decided to discontinue the show after season 12.
The first episode of 'The Big Bang Theory' aired September 24, 2007.
