We don’t have to wonder if Young Sheldon will be cancelled this time around since the show’s already been renewed through season seven. Will that be the end of this family comedy series? Stay tuned. *Status Update Below.
The Young Sheldon TV show stars Iain Armitage, Zoe Perry, Lance Barber, Annie Potts, Montana Jordan, Raegan Revord, Emily Osment, and Jim Parsons (narration). Guests include Matt Hobby, Craig T. Nelson, Emanuel Loarca, G.W. Bailey, Ed Begley Jr., Melissa Peterman, Dan Byrd, Jason Rogel, Francesca Xuereb, Wallace Shawn, Michael Trucco, and Brent Jennings. Revolving around the early life of The Big Bang Theory’s Sheldon Cooper (Parsons), this comedy series follows a gifted and naive young Sheldon (Armitage) as he navigates his way through life while confounding his very normal Texas family — parents George (Barber) and Mary (Perry), older brother Georgie (Jordan), and twin sister, Missy (Revord). Sheldon’s beloved Meemaw (Potts), his foul-mouthed, hard-drinking Texas grandmother, is very supportive of her grandson and his unique gifts.

*11/15/23 update: Young Sheldon to end with season seven on CBS.
I used to get quite a few laughs out of it, but it seems to have turned into a soap opera. What’s with that? Georgie gets a girl pregnant; is that supposed to be funny? The lonely, and now divorced, next-door neighbor has warm feelings for George, and he’s worried his wife will find out. Speaking of his wife, she got kicked out of her church. If these are supposed to be humorous storylines, I don’t follow. But I’m not within their key demographic, so my opinions don’t matter anyway. Maybe all of these things are happening in real life… Read more »
Agree, rather watch reruns of previous seasons than this season.
I totally agree with this with you. The show has gotten really dark and has even turned me off to the reruns of the earlier seasons. Sad because I used to really like the show now, because of the season, I can’t stand to watch it anymore.
Cancelled never like this show so bad repeat the wonder years and The Goldbergs also The Big Bang Theory is the best original series nothing compare spin-off not funny never going watch it give you ratings
We agree! We really liked it for awhile! Now it is not good! Very negative! We won’t continue watching it if the writers don’t change! So sorry it has turned so negative! Why? Are the writers trying to get it cancelled. If so, they are doing a good job getting it done! It is a big disappointment for us!
