Big Bang Theory's Jim Parsons blunt response about returning for a reboot

Jim Parsons, who portrayed the beloved character Sheldon Cooper, has now shared his thoughts on potentially reviving the sitcom.

In an interview with Chris Wallace on Who's Talking to Chris Wallace?, Parsons stated: "As we sit here now, no. But also I never say never to anything, because life just changes so much."

"One of the things is that it was so special as what it was and as what it is, and they call it lightning in a bottle for a reason.

"You can be certain [a revival] wouldn't be that, and so why would we be doing it?".

"I don't know, that's that's how I feel on that right now. But like I say, God willing, life is very long."

Although Parsons is hesitant about reviving the original show, he did executive produce and narrate the prequel series spin-off Young Sheldon and made a guest appearance in the finale, r eports the Mirror.
