Kunal Nayyar has finally confirmed that "The Big Bang Theory" Season 10 will be the show's last chapter. But the man who plays Raj also expressed hope that the beloved series will be renewed beyond next year.
So what gives? Will "The Big Bang Theory" return after Season 10? Or will the show finally end with a bang (pun intended, of course)?
