The Big Bang Theory has a spinoff in the works – but it does Mayim Bialik did he get a chance to reprise the role of amy?

“I haven’t been contacted,” Bialik, 49, revealed exclusively My Weekly while promoting his guest spot on a former costar Melissa Rauchthe NBC show Night Court. “I’ve seen what’s been announced and I think that’s where a lot of people are (now) well aware of it – I’m one of them.”

Bialik is excited to learn more, adding, “These characters were so iconic and so meaningful to people. (Creative) Chuck (Lorre) and Bill (Prady) he really created a world of characters that people want to know about and follow. So I’m very flattered and I’d be very flattered if they contacted me.”

Despite not yet receiving an offer, Bialik he would jump at the chance play Amy again.

“I love being known as this character and I love what it means to people. So it would be a thrill for me to be a part of that in any way,” she noted. “It was a really, really fun experience to be a part of (during my guest stint with Jim Parsons) on Young Sheldon. I can also communicate with (creators) Steven (Molaro) and Steve (Netherlands) and a lot of our writers and producers, so it’s a whole world that I still feel very connected to.”

The Big Bang Theory aired from 2007 to 2019 and starred Parsons, 51, Kaley Cuoco, Johnny Galecki, Simon Helberg, Kunal NayyarBialik and Rauch, 44, as a group of friends made up of scientists and their significant others. During its run, the CBS comedy won 10 Emmy Awards and spawned a prequel show Young Sheldon and Georgia and Mandy’s first wedding.

Warner Bros. Television currently has a spinoff in development that would air on their streaming service Max if it were to be picked up to series. Brian Posehn, Lauren Lapkus and Kevin Sussman were chosen to headline the show, which would see them reprise their roles from the original series.

While fans wait for more news, they can see some The Big Bang Theory meeting between actors on programs such as Night Court. During the Tuesday, Jan. 14, episode of the NBC series, Bialik played an exaggerated version of herself.

“I left the creative (details) up to Melissa when she asked me if I was interested in going forward. I literally told her, ‘Whatever you want, I’m happy to do it.’ It’s just out of a sense of camaraderie and support for her and our friendship,” Bialik told us. “I’m also really proud of everything she’s created. Just happy to support – and I’m a fan of Night Court too. I wasn’t allowed to watch it when I was little because it was naughty and had some racial language in it.’

Bialik must have had a lot of fun while doing so sharing the screen with Rauch.

“Melissa asked how I felt about playing a twisted version of myself. I said I’ll be as stupid as you want and as wild as you want. Melissa also drew from our real story where she was Blossom fan, and when we started working on The Big Bang Theory together, she revealed it,” she recalled. “I liked the idea of ​​playing with it and the art of imitating life.

While discussing the opportunity, Bialik explained the benefits—and challenges—of play yourself

“The advantage is a certain level of ease that comes with starting to play with yourself. You are not creating a character. I know the story because it’s mine,” she confided. “But when it comes to cons, it’s hard — especially if you’re playing an exaggerated version. The producers have to wonder, like, ‘Oh, is she afraid people will think this is who she really is?’ Or like, ‘What’s the exaggerated version going to be?'”

She concluded: “But I don’t see it as a big obstacle. It’s definitely a challenge to try to stretch yourself beyond playing yourself, but also playing an exaggerated version of yourself.”

New episodes Night Court air on NBC Tuesdays at 8:30 PM ET and are available to stream on Peacock the next day.
