The 'Big Bang Theory' star Simon Helberg has signed an exclusive two-year deal with Warner Bros. to produce their upcoming two television series with his writer-director-actress wife Jocelyn Towne and their production banner, Wildline Entertainment.

The 34-year-old American actor, who gained fame from his dumb-funny role from US sitcom, will be first producing half-hour comedy and will write for the studio, Deadline.com reported.

In their second signed deal, the duo will pen a drama series for the production house based on the book titled Legacy Of Kings.
