Keith Carradine, Katey Sagal and Jack McBrayer are reprising their respective roles as Penny (Kaley Cuoco)'s father Wyatt, mother Susan and brother Randall in "The Big Bang Theory" Season 10. Set to premiere on Sept. 19, the new season of the CBS sitcom will deal with the family.
"Penny's close with her dad," Entertainment Weekly quoted executive producer Steve Molaro as saying. "As we know, her brother Randall has been a bit of trouble over the years, selling drugs and being in and out of jail, and that's put a lot of stress on her mom."
According to Molaro, "The Big Bang Theory" Season 10 will pick up on the tensions between Susan and Randall very quickly. Viewers will get a glimpse of Penny and Wyatt being caught in the middle of this.
Along with Cuoco, main casts Johnny Galecki, Jim Parsons, Simon Helberg, Kunal Nayyar, Mayim Bialik and Melissa Rauch are returning to "The Big Bang Theory" Season 10. They are reprising their respective roles as Leonard Hofstadter, Sheldon Cooper, Howard Wolowitz, Raj Koothrappali, Amy Farrah Fowler and Bernadette Rostenkowski.
Currently, Cuoco, Galecki and Parsons' have three-year contracts estimated at $1 million per episode. The contracts will expire in May 2017.
