Young Sheldon will end its seven-season run on CBS in May. The cast wrapped production on the series just last week, but some were unprepared for it to end. Per Variety, Annie Potts said the cast was “ambushed” by the show’s cancellation. She said, “I still don’t understand why they cancelled it … It just seemed like such a stupid business move.”
The single-camera comedy series, which stars Iain Armitage (above), Zoe Perry, Lance Barber, Potts, Montana Jordan, Raegan Revord, Matt Hobby, Wyatt McClure, and Emily Osment, follows the early years of The Big Bang Theory’s Sheldon Cooper (Armitage) before he heads off to grad school.
Potts, who has starred in several shows that have had finales, said the following about filming the closing of Young Sheldon:
“This one was especially hard because I was completely unprepared. I was shocked. I mean, the No. 1 show on network TV, No. 1 on Netflix. We’re, I think, all that people watch on TikTok besides a couple of recipes for pasta. It just seemed like such a stupid business move. Forgive me, but I don’t know. If a show is starting to drag or lag or have a lack of stories or whatever, then you kind of see it coming. We were totally ambushed by this. I was, anyway.”
Armitage also spoke about ending his time with the character:
“It’s definitely hard to end and getting to work with such incredible people will always make it harder. I feel so lucky for seven wonderful years, but at the same time, I’m very excited because I get to come back out [to Los Angeles] in June. I’ll get to hang out with Annie, I’m getting my pilot’s license and I’m going to get to give tours at Warner Bros., which will be wonderful.”
Viewers will see Big Bang Theory’s Jim Parsons and Mayim Bialik on the May 16th finale of Young Sheldon. CBS has also ordered a spin-off revolving around Sheldon’s older brother, George, and his wife.
What do you think? Will you be sad to see Young Sheldon end? Did you want to see more of Sheldon’s younger years, or is this the right time to end the show?
