The Big Bang Theory cast's contracts are up at the end of this season, the series' 10th. CBS and Warner Bros., the studio that makes the show, of course want to keep the most popular comedy on TV going indefinitely. But the show is extremely expensive to make, and the cost is only going to go up. And for the actors, 10 years is a long time to stay with a single show and they may be getting bored or restless, no matter how rich it's made them. They may be itching to free up time to work on other projects. So, realistically, how much longer will The Big Bang Theory last?

　　《生活大爆炸》演员们的合约到本季季末就结束了。CBS和华纳兄弟工作室自然是想让这部当前最热美剧继续咽下去，但是实际问题是这部剧制作费贵的惊人，而且制作费只会继续上涨。对于演员们来说，10年来只演一部剧可能会有些枯燥和无聊，虽然这部剧让他们赚了不少钱。对他们来说这部剧结束也许会给他们带来自由的喜悦感。那么《生活大爆炸》到底可以播多久呢?

　　The good news for fans: Season 10 probably won't be the end.

　　好消息是：第十季应该不会是这部剧的最后一季。

　　"We are very confident that everyone involved wants more Big Bang past year 10," CBS president Glenn Geller said at the Television Critics' Association fall preview this summer. "I know Warner Bros will make those deals."

　　“我们相信，每个人都希望《生活大爆炸》跨过10年这个坎儿，”CBS总裁Glenn Geller在早前的秋季剧电视评论家协会上说。“我知道华纳兄弟会搞定。”

　　Jim Parsons, the highest-paid and most publicly popular member of the cast, says the actors are onboard. He told TVLine in March, "If the opportunity to go past Season 10 came up, I'd be very hard-pressed to tell you who [among the cast] might say no -- if anybody would. I wouldn't."

　　Jim Parsons，这部剧里薪酬级别最高的演员之一，同时也是本剧最知名演员也在3月接受采访时表示：“如果有机会在第十季后继续，我会很愿意继续。”
