Here's the Story Behind the 'Big Bang' Premiere Shocker
by EG
The season premiere of The Big Bang Theory delivered not one, but two big moments, and at least one of them came as quite a surprise. In an interview about the premiere, showrunner Steve Holland explained the reasons for the episode's big twists, as well as where we can expect them to lead. Read on to learn the secrets.

Mr. and Mrs. Cooper! Sheldon Cooper (Jim Parsons) and Amy Fowler (Mayim Bialik) are finally engaged. During the Big Bang Theory season 11 premiere, Sheldon got his answer — only after interrupting his own proposal to take a call from Leonard (Johnny Galecki) and Penny (Kaley Cuoco).
Showrunner Steve Holland opened up about the big moment — and the wedding — during an interview with The Hollywood Reporter.
"It's not going to be super quick; there's certainly fun stories to play with this couple planning their wedding. Specifically, Sheldon who has ideas about everything is going to have ideas about their wedding," he teases. "One of the episodes is Sheldon, who is so excited, wants to make the wedding so perfect that he starts to drive himself crazy trying to pick a wedding date. Because he can't just pick a date — he has to analyze every date; he's sure that there's a best one out there. And he can be like that with every decision for this wedding."
In other words, Sheldon is bridezilla. "But in a sweet way where he wants it to be perfect," Holland clarifies. "So Amy has to love that he's doing that but also be frustrated by it."
Another big bombshell during the season opener? Bernadette (Melissa Rauch) is pregnant — again. And Howard's (Simon Helberg) reaction was priceless. (Spoiler: He freaked out!)
In July, Raunch revealed that she is pregnant in real life after suffering a miscarriage. "When Melissa told us that she and her husband were expecting, we started talking about what we wanted to do in the show."
