"The Big Bang Theory" continues to win in the ratings game as the comedy follows the lives of four friends and the women who love them.

Last week, the episode where Sheldon (Jim Parsons) and Amy (Mayim Bialik) finally got intimate after 5 years together while the rest of the guys were out watching "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" drew 23 million viewers, the series' largest L+3 audience in nearly two years, according to Deadline.

The show continues to entertain fans, with Sheldon, Leonard (Johnny Galecki), Raj (Kunal Nayyar) and Howard (Simon Helberg) being nerdy boys who had difficulty getting dates back in season 1 and became men who are in loving relationships in the current season. Now, it looks like the end of the series is near as Sheldon and Amy have taken a big step in their relationship, and Leonard is now married to Penny (Kaley Cuoco).

Moreover, Howard and Bernadette (Melissa Rauch) are talking about having kids, while Raj, who was the most insecure among them, now has a steady girlfriend. After all these milestones, what comes next for these characters?

Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, showrunner Steve Molaro said that it's possible that the show can keep on adding new episodes beyond the next season, but realistically, he sees a possible end point for the series.

"It's certainly possible that it could go past that," said Molaro about the show going on after the 10th season. "The reality is that maybe season 10 is the ending point."

Molaro added that he doesn't know when the series will end and that he's focusing on making every episode the best way that they can.

"There's still so many episodes to go. Even if hypothetically season 10 was the end, I wouldn't be focusing on that," said the showrunner.

Co-creator Chuck Lorre told THR that the show has surpassed what everyone has expected of it in terms of longevity and that they will continue to make new episodes "as long as everybody is having a good time."

"It's already gone beyond my wildest dreams so anything beyond this…as long as everybody is having a good time and we're making a show we're proud of…then it's worth continuing," said Lorre.

"The Big Bang Theory" airs Thursdays at 8 p.m. on CBS.
