Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

The Big Bang Theory wrapped on season 9 a few weeks ago, but there still doesn't seem to be any concrete plans beyond season 10, which is increasingly looking like its last.

"Look - next season, as it stands on our contract, could be the last season of Big Bang Theory," Kunal Nayyar told fans at MCM Comic-Con in London at the weekend.

"To be completely honest…I know people are gonna want to know what happens after season 10. I don’t know what’s going to happen."

The wait could be down to the cast trying to negotiate ownership of several small countries into their contracts (they're reportedly now getting paid $1 million an episode) or simply be because the storylines are coming to a close.

Late last year, showrunner Steve Molaro was asked whether s10 will be the final outing, to which he replied: "I think so. I can't speak to the future or on behalf of the cast or where we'll be then but it's certainly possible that it could go past that.

"The reality is that maybe season 10 is the ending point."

Though the show may not be as talked about as it once was, The Big Bang Theory remains the number one comedy in the US amongst 18-49 year olds, the most coveted demographic.
