"The Big Bang Theory cast will likely reach a new contractual agreement with CBS, according to network president Nina Tassler. It was reported earlier this week that Johnny Galecki, Jim Parsons, Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting and their co-stars were far apart from production studio Warner Bros TV while negotiating new deals.  There were even suggestions that production on The Big Bang Theory&amp;#039;s eighth season could be delayed if a deal is not reached by July 22. CBS president Tassler said at the TCA Press Tour that contract negotiations with the Big Bang Theory cast tend to &amp;quot;miraculously&amp;quot; come together at the last minute. &amp;quot;I just love being able to answer these questions year after year,&amp;quot; Tassler initially joked. She later said: &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;re feeling very confident everything will work out. These deals work out every year.&amp;quot;  Galecki, Parsons and Cuoco-Sweeting made around $350,000 per episode last season, in addition to each having a 0.25% stake in backend royalties. CBS renewed The Big Bang Theory for three further seasons ahead of contract negotiations. The show is scheduled to kick off its eighth season on October 30 on CBS.
