The Big Bang Theory has been a wildly successful CBS TV series. Will its prequel — the Young Sheldon TV show — continue that legacy? Jim Parsons is the only cast member set to cross over, and that’s in a voice capacity. Can the Tiffany Network attract and keep The Big Bang Theory audience? Will Young Sheldon be cancelled or renewed for season two? Stay tuned.
A single-camera comedy, Young Sheldon stars Iain Armitage, Zoe Perry, Lance Barber, Annie Potts, Montana Jordan, and Raegan Revord, with Jim Parsons narrating. The CBS sitcom unfolds in 1989 and centers on Sheldon Cooper (Armitage), when he was just a nine-year-old boy. Surviving childhood in an East Texas outpost — one dedicated to all things faith and football — will be no mean feat for this unique genius and his otherwise ordinary family.
