The Big Bang Theory Season 8 Spoilers: Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting Gives Penny New Look

The Big Bang Theory Season 7 finale ended with Sheldon on a train to who knows where, while Leonard and Penny officially got engaged after months of deliberation. But when the show returns for Season 8 in the fall, Penny could very likely have a whole new look.

Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting cut her hair recently, and her long locks have transformed into a shorter pixie cut. But will Penny sport this new look in Season 8? The "Matt's Inside Line" column at TVLine has some information directly from the actress herself:

"How about some big scoop on Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting's very big haircut, and how it might affect Season 8? Kaley clipped her locks (the first time) just prior to the show's wrap party, yet when she walked in, she tells me, 'The producers loved it.' She has since evolved her 'do into an outright pixie cut, and thus far has not heard boo, so... good news? 'I'm hoping Penny will keep the haircut, that's my goal,' Cuoco-Sweeting shares, noting: 'The finale wasn't a 'To Be Continued,' so I don't see any problem with it. People change, people get haircuts, so I think this is a realistic move for Penny. Fingers crossed!'"

If the producers are on board, then it seems likely the character's hair would change next year, too. After all, Penny's hair isn't essential to the character, and it's just a cosmetic change.

What do you think of the new haircut? Do you think Penny will keep it in Season 8? Let us know in the comments below.
