One of the things is that it was so special as what it was and what it is. And they call it lightning in a bottle for a reason, and you can be certain it 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,” he added. “But like I say, God willing, life is very long.”

Jim reflected on the show, calling it “the most insane, fortunate blessing that I could have ever asked for.”

He also said that he’s not upset that many fans may always see him as Sheldon, explaining, “I feel pretty strongly that it’s almost, if not totally, 100 percent blessing at this point. I know that I wouldn’t have said that 10 years ago.”

If you missed it, another Big Bang Theory spinoff series is in the works with 3 of the original stars returning!
