Many "Big Bang Theory" cast members were sad and upset the show will come to a close after its 12th season. Star Kaley Cuoco says she went through a range of emotions while processing the news.
"I went through like kind of some weird, a lot of ups and downs — almost like someone had died, in a weird way," Cuoco said Friday on an episode of CBS' "The Talk." "I was just devastated, I couldn't stop crying for days, and then I was really angry."
Cuoco told Sharon Osbourne and the women of "The Talk" there "was not a dry eye in the house" when the idea of ending the CBS comedy was discussed.
"Now, I'm like, 'OK, we have many more episodes left and we've done such an amazing thing,'" she added. "This show it's very special and it's totally changed my life."
CBS announced in August that season 12 will be "The Big Bang Theory's" final season. At the time, Cuoco said she was "drowning in tears," but she promised to give fans the show's best season.
According to Entertainment Weekly, Jim Parsons, who plays the show's lead scientist Sheldon Cooper, didn't want to carry on with the show any longer. Previously in May, the network's entertainment president Kelly Kahl was hopeful the show would continue beyond season 12.
Cuoco said there are three things she would like to see on the show's final season, including the apartment's elevator getting fixed and learning her character's mysterious last name.
"The Big Bang Theory" will premiere its final season on CBS Monday, September 24 at 8 p.m. A second episode will air Thursday, September 27 at the same time. Each following episode will continue to air on Thursdays.
