Season 7



Season 7 of the Big Bang Theory was confirmed on January 12, 2009, alongside Seasons 5 and 6. It will start airing on September 26th, 2013.

As of July 2013, it is currently unknown if the series will be renewed for an eighth season; however, renewal for future seasons is highly likely due to The Big Bang Theory's success in viewership and in ratings.

Due to contractual obligations, the three main cast members (Parsons, Galecki, and Cuoco) will receive $350,000 per episode in the seventh season, increasing their salaries an additional $50,000 per episode from season 6.

The writers began working on Season 7 in mid-June. The filming of next season seven episodes began August 20, 2013. {[http://tvtickets.com/fmi/xsl/core/recordlist.xsl? tvtickets.com]}
