Young Sheldon‘s days on CBS are numbered. As previously reported, TV’s most-watched comedy will conclude in Spring 2024.

The Big Bang Theory prequel first bowed in 2017, and tells the story of future Nobel Prize-winning physicist Sheldon Cooper as he comes of age in Medford, Texas, along with his twin sister Missy (Raegan Revord), older brother Georgie (Montana Jordan), parents Mary and George (Zoe Perry and Lance Barber) and his beloved Meemaw (Annie Potts). But all good things must come to an end — and Young Sheldon‘s farewell run is set to get underway in February.

“As a prequel to one of the biggest comedies,Young Sheldonproved lightning can strike twice,” CBS entertainment president Amy Reisenbach said in November. “It set itself apart with a remarkable cast that felt like a family from the first moment we saw them on screen and brought characters to life with unique heartfelt stories that drew audiences in from the start. We extend a sincere thank you to executive producers Chuck Lorre, Steve Molaro and Steve Holland and the entire writing and producing teams for six wonderful seasons. We look forward to seeing their final season unfold and giving it a proper send off with the best episodes yet for their fans to enjoy.”

  • How Did Young Sheldon Season 6 End?

    In Young Sheldon‘s Season 6 finale, Sheldon and Mary’s flight to Germany took off just before a tornado touched down in Medford, forcing the rest of the Cooper/McAllister clan to hunker down and take cover.

    The storm was alluded to in a Season 1 episode ofBig Bang, when Sheldon told Penny about his stint in Heidelberg. At the time, he said that his mother flew back to Texas to help his dad after their house slipped off cinderblocks. “It was tornado season, and it was an aluminum house,” he explained. But clearly Sheldon’s memory was a bit fuzzy, because it wasn’t his childhood home that suffered the brunt of the damage.

    Once it was safe to leave the laundromat, Meemaw discovered that her house had been decimated. George then extended an invite to his mother-in-law and Mandy to come stay with him and Missy — at least for the duration of Sheldon and Mary’s time abroad.

    Assuming Young Sheldon‘s narrative keeps at a steady pace, Sheldon will turn 14 in Season 7 — the age at which, perBig Bang’s previously established timeline, the future Nobel Prize winner moves from Medford, Texas, to Pasadena, Calif., to begin his graduate studies at the California Institute of Technology.

    That same year, family patriarch George meets his maker, setting upYoung Sheldonfor a bittersweet sendoff not unlike early ’90s classicThe Wonder Years. But time will tell if the prequel remains true to canon, and whether George dies on screen. As executive producer Steve Hollandpreviously warnedTVLine, “just because [something happened onBig Bang] doesn’t mean it’s a story [our narrator] has to tell.”

    Recently, Barber posted a pair of potentially ominous Instagram posts — one captioned “gonna miss my Cooper kids” that featured a new, behind-the-scenes photo with Armitage, Revord and Jordan, and the other captioned “seems like yesterday…,” with a picture of Armitage and Revord circa Season 3.

    CBS is looking to expand the Big Bang Theory universe once more — this time with a Young Sheldon spinoff centered on new parents Georgie and Mandy.

    The prospective offshoot, which is nearing a direct-to-series order, would star Jordan as Sheldon’s older brother and Osment as his bride-to-be. But unlike Young Sheldon, which pivoted to a single-camera format, the Georgie and Mandy spinoff is being prepped as a multi-camera sitcom, shot in front of a live studio audience — just like Big Bang.

    If all goes according to plan, a minimum of 13 episodes will air during the 2024-25 TV season.
