A LEGENDARY sitcom has just landed a new spin-off series with a streaming giant.
A number of hit comedies have had spin-off shows over the years, with varying degrees of success.
While Cheers had Frasier, Friends had Joey, and now The Big Bang Theory is getting it's own spin-off.
The original NBC series ran from 2007 to 2019 and starred Jim Parsons, Kaley Cuoco and Johnny Galecki.
It has already spawned one spin-off, prequel series Young Sheldon, which follows Jim's character Sheldon Cooper when he was growing up.
Now, HBO's streaming service, Max, has commissioned a currently unnamed series which will "derive from" what happened in The Big Bang Theory.

Very few details are known other than that at this point, with casting yet to be announced as well as a start date for production.
Fans of the show will be keen to know if any of the original cast – which also included Kunal Nayyar, Mayim Bialik, Simon Helberg and Melissa Rauch will return.
The Big Bang Theory ended with Sheldon and wife Amy receiving the Nobel Prize in Physics, with their proud friends watching on.
Meanwhile Leonard and Penny were expecting their first child, and Raj brought Sarah Michelle Gellar as his guest.
