The Big Bang Theory contract standoff continues and has forced production on the new season to be postponed. The CBS comedy has reportedly delayed the start of season eight as stars Jim Parsons, Johnny Galecki, Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting, Simon Helberg and Kunal Nayyar all remain without new contracts. Warner Bros. TV, which produces The Big Bang Theory, confirmed the news in a statement saying, “”Due to ongoing contract negotiations, production on The Big Bang Theory—which was originally scheduled to begin today—has been postponed.” CBS renewed the hit drama for three more seasons—all the way through season 10—in March. Earlier in July CBS boss Nina Tassler told reporters at the 2014 TCA Summer Press Tour that she wasn’t concerned about The Big Bang Theory contract standoff. “We’re feeling very confident that everything will work out. These deals manage to get done miraculously somehow year after year.”
