CBS’s popular comedy Young Sheldon will come to an end with the upcoming seventh season. The network announced the new season will be the series’ final, with the show wrapping up on May 16, 2024 with a one-hour finale.
Season seven will premiere on February 15, 2024. New episodes airing on Thursdays at 8pm ET/PT.
Chuck Lorre and Steven Molaro created the series and serve as writers and executive producers. Parsons, Steve Holland, Nick Bakay, and Todd Spiewak also executive produce.
“As a prequel to one of the biggest comedies, Young Sheldon proved lightning can strike twice,” stated Amy Reisenbach, president of CBS Entertainment. “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.”
Iain Armitage leads the cast of The Big Bang Theory prequel as a young Sheldon Cooper. The series also stars Zoe Perry, Lance Barber, Annie Potts, Montana Jordan, Raegan Revord, and Jim Parsons (as the voice of Sheldon).
“Being able to tell the origin of Sheldon Cooper and expanding the story to include the entire Cooper family has been a wonderful experience,” said executive producers Steve Holland, Steven Molaro, and Chuck Lorre. “We are grateful to our fans for embracing this chapter of the Coopers these past six seasons, and on behalf of the entire Young Sheldon family, we’re excited to share this final season with you.”
The Plot, Courtesy of CBS:
Young Sheldon centers on Sheldon Cooper, a once-in-a-generation mind capable of advanced mathematics and science, which isn’t always helpful in a land where church and football are king. And while the vulnerable, gifted and somewhat naïve Sheldon deals with the world, his very normal family must find a way to deal with him.
For 12 years on The Big Bang Theory, audiences came to know the iconic, eccentric and extraordinary Sheldon Cooper. This single-camera, half-hour comedy takes viewers through his childhood as he embarks on his innocent, awkward, and hopeful journey toward the man he will become.
