The Big Bang Theory season 12 episode 16 return date: ‘The D&D Vortex’

Do you want to know The Big Bang Theory season 12 episode 16 return date on CBS, coupled with details on what’s next? Well, we’ve got a little bit more information within.

The first thing that we should note here is that there is no new episode coming in seven days; you’re going to have to wait a little bit longer to see what’s ahead. There is a notable thing to wait for at the moment, though, as the next new episode entitled “The D&D Vortex” is one of the biggest ones in some time. This episode represents a chance to bring in a number of different guest stars that the show may have wanted to get at some point in the past, but for some reason, it just didn’t happen. That includes getting the chance to see the iconic William Shatner, who will be stopping by as himself alongside former True Blood star Joe Manganiello, NBA legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and then director Kevin Smith. Wil Wheaton is the conduit by which many of them are appearing.

Below, CarterMatt offers up the official The Big Bang Theory season 12 episode 16 synopsis with more news as to what’s coming up:

“The D & D Vortex” – When the gang finds out Wil Wheaton hosts a celebrity Dungeons and Dragons game involving William Shatner, Joe Manganiello, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Kevin Smith, deception and betrayal are the path to make it to the one open seat, on THE BIG BANG THEORY, Thursday, Feb. 21 (8:00-8:31 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

Hopefully, this episode proves to be one of the funniest ones of the series, and also one of the best representations of Dungeons and Dragons that we’ve had a chance to see for some time. There’s a really great episode of Community that was all about it and that, at least to us, is the benchmark when it comes to network TV programming.

On the other side of this episode there will still be a number of big stories for a number of different characters — while getting some great stars is nice, we do hope that the final episodes of the series stay focused a little bit more on the main characters. There will be room for guest stars here and there.
