The Big Bang Theory came to a dramatic ending back in May with Sheldon Cooper (played by Jim Parsons) and his wife Amy Farrah Fowler (Mayim Bialik) finally claiming the Nobel Prize. Now, it has revealed the Sheldon star has since moved on and is set to star in an LGBTQ documentary series.
The documentary, titled Equal, will look back on historical moments within the LGBTQ+ community.
The actor will be teaming up with writer producer and filmmaker Greg Berlanti to tell the story which marks the first show to come from Warner Horizon Unscripted TV’s new documentary series unit.
The series will be spilt equally into four parts and will focus on landmark wins and the fight for rights for the community.
The star’s new venture looks to shine a light on the forgotten heroes of the movement, giving them long overdue recognition for their fight.
