The Big Bang Theory Just Cast Penny’s Mom And She’s Perfect

For those of you who did watch ABC sitcom 8 Simple Rules, you’ll know that Katey Sagal also played the mother to Kaley Cuoco’s character, Bridget, so it’s definitely a special one.

The Sons of Anarchy star was announced as a new addition to the cast of the hit comedy series on Friday (22Jul16), during the show’s annual panel at San Diego, California’s Comic-Con event.

Susan is “stressed out and neurotic from a life with her troubled son”, which makes sense given that Penny has referred to her brother in previous episodes as “a cheerful former drug dealer and ex-con”. That series ran for several seasons until Ritter passed away in 2005.

Hopefully, we get to meet even more family members as we go throughout the upcoming season. Randall’s criminal background has been talked about on TBBT before, and McBrayer seems to be just the person to play the wayward brother. And it a kismet twist, the actress is someone who has some experience mothering Kaley Cuoco – Katey Sagal! “We’re really excited about Katey joining us and becoming part of our little family”.

“The Big Bang Theory” is finally introducing Penny’s mom and brother, and they’re already TV icons.

We already know that Keith Carradine is Penny’s father on the show, and we hope both of these actors are turning up early on in season 10.
