THE BIG BANG THEORY Season Finale: Steve Holland on Sheldon and Amy’s Wedding

It’s a very THE BIG BANG THEORY wedding in Thursday’s season finale.

After years of courtship—and a year after Sheldon’s (Jim Parsons) surprise proposal—Sheldon and Amy (Mayim Bialik) are tying the knot. Of course, it’s not exactly a traditional wedding: Sheldon’s frenemy/STAR TREK vet Wil Wheaton and STAR WARS icon Mark Hamill are among the attendees.

However, navigating an event this big took work. Not only did the writers work their way toward this moment all season, but they had to lock down a large number of returning cast members. (Including Sheldon’s on-screen mother—and recent Oscar nominee—Laurie Metcalf.)

We spoke with executive producer Steve Holland (prior to the writers actually penning the episode) about what the team’s priority was in crafting the episode.
