Young Sheldon may be coming to an end in 2024. The CBS comedy series is currently in its sixth season and has already been renewed for season seven. Talks are now happening behind the scenes about whether the seventh season should also be the popular show’s last.
Starring Iain Armitage, Zoe Perry, Lance Barber, Annie Potts, Montana Jordan, Raegan Revord, and Emily Osment with the voice of Jim Parsons, Young Sheldon is a prequel to The Big Bang Theory. It follows the early life of genius Sheldon Cooper (Armitage).
If the storyline continues at its current pacing, Sheldon will be 14 years old in the seventh season. Per Big Bang Theory’s already established timeline, that’s the age that Sheldon moves to Pasadena to begin his graduate studies at CalTech University. It’s also around that time that brother Georgie (Jordan) marries for the first time and that patriarch George (Barber) dies.
Steve Holland, an executive producer of the CBS series, said the following, per TV Line:
“There are certainly things we know we want to hit next season, and there are certain things where, if it’s the end versus if it’s just [another season], those things might be different. It’s not my decision to make. I don’t think we’ll know for a while, but I don’t think it will effect the first half of [Season 7]; I think it will play out the same either way. But as we get near the end, I think it will play out differently depending on whether this is, or is not, the final season.
That’s certainly another thing that throws a wrench into it — if [a strike] happens, how long it goes on, and how many episodes this next season will end up being,” he explains. “Those are questions we can’t even answer; we’d just be speculating. So we certainly have a plan in place of where we’re aiming [to get] next season with some understanding, and some flexibility, that this may or may not be the end.”
What do you think? Do you think Young Sheldon should end with its upcoming seventh season? Would you watch season eight?
I love the show but it has to end some time or else it’ll continue past where Big Bang starts and that can’t happen!
I wish they got rid of Sheldon, and continue the show with the rest. It doesn’t have to follow Big Bang. People forget the timeliness and storyline. If it is a good show I would watch it.
The writers of Young Sheldon couldn’t come up with nearly the good clean laughs of TBBT, so they have resorted to adultry, out of wedlock pregnancy, etc, and expect the same loyalty from the same audience. Not happenin’ guys. I can barely stand this season, and surely will not be around for another.
Thank you! That is exactly how I feel and you put it perfectly. I can’t wait for this awful show to end bc it’s nothing like the good family feel good comedy it once was.
I do like this show, but it is about time that it ends. The fact that it has lasted half as long as The Big Bang Theory is insane. It probably needed three seasons tops.
I agree seven season is plenty. The kids are getting too old.
Sad to say, but yes, it’s time to go.
I agree. Seven is enough!
I want Young Sheldon to end next season. If I had my way I’d have it end this season. I used to love this cute family funny show. Now I absolutely hate what the writers have turned it into. I only watch it bc I have always watched it and want to see how it ends. I don’t look forward to the show anymore bc it’s a drama now and I only like shows that are family friendly and funny and make you feel good when you watch it and this doesn’t anymore. I think this crap needs to end… Read more »
Last year, I started getting disenchanted on how the show was going and, after the 100th episode, I decided to take a “vacation” from the series. What I had done after was smashing the DVD’s of him and, torn up my T-shirt of the show as well b/c my fandom got too big. I intially decided not to watch the series any longer but, when the time came, I decided to give it another shot. Hopefully, I would live up to these dumb mistakes that I had made.
We hope that the seventh (final) season will go out a winner.
I loved The Big Bang, & this show in the first few seasons. But lately it’s gotten stale & Sheldon, at this age is no longer the cute funny kid he once was. And the only one I still love watching is Meemaw!
I have loved this show. Couldn’t stand The Big Bang Theory. But I think this show should come to an end with season 7.
I second that, 7 is plenty. the kids are starting to become has-beens
Time to end it, but start a show with MeeMaw and Georgie could be in it too as a new dad. Might be fun.
I like the show but I believe season 7 should be the end. If George, Sr is killed off, it will change the show immensely. Sheldon’s character is also kind of at an age where the acting is not as good as when younger or older. Some things come to an end. Better to end than being cancelled.
Armitage is a terrible actor now that the young actor is no longer cute. The plot lines are all fun and interesting but Sheldon has lost his allure. End the show now and spare us his awful acting ability.
His role is getting smaller and, becoming a has-been.
I doubt it as the ratings are still great. It’ll probably get an eighth season and end it then.
Praise the Lord finally the end is near! But on a serious note this show is finally ending thank goodness. But the scary part is Chuck Laurie has another sitcom about to be released so it’s a never ending cycle of his junk.
Sheldon is so annoying, especially now that he’s older and his voice is changing. The childish ways just come across as crude now that he’s old enoughto know better. I didn’t watch TBBT until the last 4 seasons. Adult Sheldon took a while to get used to. Mary is not far behind in being annoying. I watch the show for MeeMaw, George, Georgie, and Missy. It seems the early part of season 6 put more emphasis on those supporting characters and less on Sheldon, thankfully. It’s been a great show up to about season 5. I hate how it’s likely… Read more »
This was a great summation!
