‘The Big Bang Theory’
Whether they’re talking about Schroedinger’s cat or Game of Thrones, Sheldon (Jim Parsons) and his friends — Leonard (Johnny Galecki), Penny (Kaley Cuoco), Raj (Kunal Nayyar), and Howard (Simon Helberg) — will be on HBO Max to dole out the laughs.
All 12 seasons of the Emmy Award-winning comedy, The Big Bang Theory, will be available on HBO Max at launch.
