YORK, Dec. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/
-- Paramount announced today that The Big Bang Theory
will join Nick at Nite and MTV lineups, bringing holiday cheer
through the new year as the 10-time Emmy® Award-winning series
returns to Paramount for the first time since its run on
CBS.
Both brands will kick off their debut with marathon stunts
tailored to their audiences, as follows:
Nickelodeon:
- Beginning Tuesday, December 24,
Nickelodeon's nighttime programming block Nick at Nite will host a
two-day stunt featuring holiday-themed episodes including the
beloved "Leonard Nimoy's
Napkin."
- On December 27, The Big Bang
Theory will debut with Season 4 on Nick at Nite and air daily
from 12-2 a.m. (ET/PT). All 12
seasons of The Big Bang Theory are joining Nick at Nite's
stellar late-night roster of popular family comedies, including its
spinoff prequel Young Sheldon
and Emmy® Award-winning sitcoms Friends and Modern
Family.
MTV:
- Starting Wednesday, January 1,
MTV will air "MTV's New Year with a Bang," an all-day marathon of
Season 3.
- Beginning Saturday, January 4,
fans can tune in every Saturday and Sunday and watch all of their
favorite episodes across all 12 Seasons alongside
Friends.
"We are thrilled to welcome The Big Bang Theory back into
the Paramount family, bolstering the comedy lineup for both Nick at
Nite and MTV," said Laurel Weir, EVP
and Head of Programming, Showtime/MTV Entertainment Studios and
Paramount Media Networks. "Bringing engaging and culturally
resonant content to fans is our priority, and the addition of
The Big Bang Theory to our robust comedy slate across both
networks brings our audience some of the best comedies in
television history."
The licensing agreement with Warner Bros. Discovery Content
Sales for the series was negotiated on behalf of Paramount Global
by Barbara Zaneri, Chief Programming
Acquisitions Officer.
About The Big Bang Theory
Leonard (Johnny Galecki) and Sheldon (Jim Parsons) are brilliant physicists, the kind
of "beautiful minds" that understand how the universe works. But,
none of that genius helps them interact with people, especially
women. All this begins to change when a free-spirited beauty named
Penny (Kaley Cuoco) moves in next
door. Sheldon, Leonard's roommate, is quite content spending his
nights playing Klingon Boggle with their socially dysfunctional
friends, fellow Caltech scientists Wolowitz (Simon Helberg) and Koothrappali (Kunal Nayyer). However, Leonard sees in Penny a
whole new universe of possibilities ... including love.
Throughout its impressive run, The Big Bang Theory was
nominated for an astonishing 55 Emmy® Awards and won 10. The series
was also honored with a Television Critics Association Award, and
People's Choice and Teen Choice Awards and was recognized by
the AFI and Humanitas organizations. The Big Bang Theory
premiered in 2007 and aired 279 episodes spanning 12
seasons.
The Big Bang Theory was produced by Warner Bros.
Television and Chuck Lorre Productions. Chuck Lorre and
Bill Prady were
co-creators/executive producers/head writers. Steven Molaro,
Lee Aronsohn, Eric Kaplan, Maria
Ferrari, Dave Goetsch, and
Steve Holland have also served as
executive producers on the series. The series is distributed by
Warner Bros. Domestic Television.
