The Big Bang Theory fans call for Leonard and Penny spin-off: What have Kaley Cuoco and Johnny Galecki said about reboot?

The Big Bang Theory fans have spoken after director Mark Cendrowski teased there could be a potential spin-off in the works following the final ever episode back in May.

The Young Sheldon continues to go from strength to strength but fans of the CBS sitcom still arent, and are unlikely to ever be, ready to say goodbye to Leonard (played by Johnny Galecki), Penny (Kaley Cuoco), Sheldon (Jim Parsons), Amy (Mayim Bialik), Bernadette (Melissa Rauch), Howard (Simon Helberg), Raj (Kunnal Nayyar) and even Wil Wheaton (Wil Wheaton).

So who would they most like to see return with their own show?

After announcing they were expecting their first child together, Penny and Leonard have emerged as the heroes Big Bang Theory fans would most like to see front a reboot, and by a substantially large margin in a poll conducted by Metro.co.uk.

The couple won 40 percent of the vote, but Raj came in second before Amy and Sheldon – even though he stands alone after being the only member of the gang to end the series single, which was understandably a contentious issue for fans.

So, the fandom made their choice but could it really happen?

Both Johnny and Kaley were grilled over the likelihood of reviving Leonard and Penny last year and both seemed divided.

Kaleys response was promising:

I mean, its 12 years of my life, weve all had a lot of ups and downs in the last 12 years were a very close group and, you know, we have a legacy of the show, she told Entertainment Tonight.

Its something Ill have for the rest of my life. Its something Ill probably compare every project to, like nothing will be like Big Bang. It just is what it is. Its made me who I am. Its given me so many great things and blessings and Ill be very indebted to the show and Chuck Lorre forever.

I would be interested in working with Chuck again, and these are Chucks characters and its really whatever he would want.

Sadly, Johnnys not so keen – to put it lightly.

Absolutely not, he stressed (via news.com.au). The show could not continue without Jim.

Oh…

So, how about plan B? Kunal Nayyar, were looking at you buddy. When
