The Big Bang Theory

The Big Bang Theory

The CBS sitcom that ran from 2007 to 2019 and made Kaley Cuoco one of the most recognisable faces on television through her role as Penny. The show’s enormous success gave Cuoco the freedom to choose later projects, including The Flight Attendant, on her own terms. It remains the foundation of her fame even as her public story has shifted, in the Pelphrey era, towards family life with Matilda and Philomena.
