The Hindu
American network CBS announced that the sitcom will return on February 15 and wrap its run with an hour-long series finale May 16
The Big Bang Theory spin-off Young Sheldon will be concluding with its upcoming seventh season, American network CBS has announced. The sitcom will return on February 15 and wrap its run with an hour-long series finale May 16, reported Variety.
The final season will be shorter than its predecessors due to the truncated nature of the 2023-2024 scripted broadcast season caused by the writer and actors’ strikes in Hollywood. Young Sheldon, which started in 2017, chronicles the life of a nine-year-old Sheldon Cooper, played by Iain Armitage, as he grows up in East Texas and struggles to be understood by his family, classmates and neighbours.
Actor Jim Parsons, who played the adult Sheldon in classic show The Big Bang Theory serves as the narrator in the series, which also features Zoe Perry, Lance Barber, Annie Potts, Montana Jordan and Raegan Revord.
“As a prequel to one of the biggest comedies, Young Sheldon proved lightning can strike twice. It set itself apart with a remarkable cast that felt like a family from the first moment we saw them on screen and brought characters to life with unique heartfelt stories that drew audiences in from the start," said Amy Reisenbach, president of CBS Entertainment.

Sustainability is not an add-on, but stamped firmly into the process: every piece is biodegradable, waste-free and unembellished, free from glitter or beads. “Products should be sustainable and biodegradable so that our planet is not harmed,” says Anu Elizabeth Alexander, a student of Sishya, Adyar. At a recent exhibition, the stars she made sold the fastest, followed by the small diamonds. “I would like people to know about the process, how it is created, and that it is sustainable,” says Anu. Infanta Leon from Kotturpuram developed an interest in crochet as a teenager. It was a hobbyhorse that evolved into a steed that would help her embark on a journey of identity-shaping creative engagement. She started making Christmas-themed decor two years ago, spurred by a desire to craft safe, eco-friendly toys for children. “With a toddler at home, and my elder child sensitive to synthetic materials, I wanted to create items that were gentle, durable and tactile,” she explains. Her earliest creations were small amigurumi toys which gradually evolved into ornaments that could adorn Christmas trees with warmth and charm.
