When will the Young Sheldon Finale air?
The finale of season seven will air in America on May 16, 2024.
"As a prequel series to one of the biggest comedies, Young Sheldon proved that lightning can strike twice," CBS Entertainment President Amy Reisenbach told Variety at the time of the announcement.
"It set itself apart with a remarkable cast that felt like a family from the first moment we saw them on screen and brought the characters to life with unique heartfelt stories that drew audiences in from the start... We look forward to seeing their final season unfold and giving it a proper send-off with the best episodes yet for fans to enjoy," she continued.
At this stage, we don't have too many details on what the finale will entail - but it's likely to be centred around the death of Sheldon's father, an event referenced by Sheldon in The Big Bang Theory often.
In March, it was revealed Jim Parsons and Mayim Bialik would reprise their roles as The Big Bang Theory’s Sheldon Cooper and Amy Farrah Fowler in the Young Sheldon finale - although any further details of their appearance have been kept under wraps.
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight ahead of the season finale, Jim reflected on his final reprisal of Sheldon, telling the publication, "It was beautiful. It was even more beautiful than I expected it to be."
"One of the reasons I was excited to do it is because what they wrote is so sweet and I think they worked Mayim and I into that show beautifully... To get to go with Mayim, in a world [where] we're guests and revisit these characters a little older [is] just a completely different circumstance."
Returning to the world of The Big Bang Theory for the first time in five years, Jim revealed that the process of embodying his iconic character was not as easy as he had imagined.
"I really thought it would be like putting on a pair of old shoes, and then eventually it was, but not for about an hour or so."
Will there be a Young Sheldon Spin-off series?
In 2023, series creator Chuck Lorre teased a potential new series set in The Big Bang Theory Universe.
After months of fan theories over what the show would entail, it was recently confirmed that US network CBS had greenlit a spin-off centred on George Cooper (Montana Jordan) and Mandy (Emily Osment). However, no other details have been announced and both CMS and Warner Bros. TV declined to comment.
