"You're not going to not know it's coming! We will support it heavily and celebrate it. It's been 12 amazing years and hundreds of millions of viewers," CBS president Kelly Kahl said in January of his network's plans for the show's final season. "It's been a special show for me and everybody at CBS. These kinds of shows don't come along that often. We want to give it the proper respect it deserves on its way into the sunset."

Following the script-reading session ahead of filming the episode, Cuoco warned fans of the seemingly heartbreaking episode. "Prepare yourselves ... for a finale that has truly given me a loss for words. Our whole universe ....," she wrote on Instagram alongside a picture of a load of screwed-up tissues that she had used to mop up her tears.
