Young Sheldon is an American sitcom television series created by Chuck Lorre and Steven Molaro that aired on CBS from September 25, 2017, to May 16, 2024. A spin-off and prequel to The Big Bang Theory, the series is set from the late 1980s to the mid-1990s and follows the childhood of Sheldon Cooper, gifted young prodigy growing up with his family in Medford, Texas. The show stars Iain Armitage as Sheldon, alongside Zoe Perry, Lance Barber, Montana Jordan, Raegan Revord, and Annie Potts among many others. Jim Parsons, who portrayed the adult Sheldon Cooper on The Big Bang Theory, serves as the series' narrator and an executive producer.
Development of the prequel began in November 2016, based on an idea Parsons shared with The Big Bang Theory producers. By March 2017, Armitage and Perry were cast, and CBS ordered the series. Young Sheldon premiered as a special preview on September 25, 2017, and was picked up for a full season that began airing on November 2, 2017. In November 2023, CBS announced that the series would conclude after its seventh season. The one-hour series finale aired on May 16, 2024. The series received positive reviews from critics.
