The tenth season of the American sitcom The Big Bang Theory premiered on CBS Monday, September 19, 2016.[1] It will later return to its regular Thursday time slot on October 27, 2016, after Thursday Night Football on CBS.[1][2]
On March 12, 2014, The Big Bang Theory was renewed for an additional three years, extending it through the 2016–17 season for a total of ten seasons.[3]
Production
Like the previous two seasons, the first six episodes of the tenth season will be aired on a different night due to CBS acquiring the rights to Thursday Night Football games. In May 2016, CBS announced at its annual upfront presentation, that the series would begin its tenth season on Mondays, before returning to the Thursday slot once the football games end.[1]
Filming for the tenth season began on August 16, 2016, according to posts on Instagram and Twitter by several of the cast members including Kaley Cuoco and Mayim Bialik.[4][5][6]
Several castings for the tenth season were announced before the season began airing. Variety announced on July 22, 2016, that Katey Sagal and Jack McBrayer had been cast as Penny's mother and brother, respectively. Information about the characters was that Sagal will play Susan, who was described as stressed out and neurotic from a life with her troubled son. McBrayer will play Randall, a cheerful former drug dealer and ex-con.[7] Entertainment Weekly reported on August 10, 2016, a week before filming began, that Dean Norris will have a multi-episode arc in the tenth season, and will be playing Captain Williams, a tough Air Force representative from the Department of Material Command, who’s interested in the boys’ quantum gyroscope for military applications.[8]
