The end of an era is officially in sight for Young Sheldon, and the emotions are already running high — both on screen and behind the scenes. Following the confirmation that Season 7 will be the final chapter of the beloved Big Bang Theory spinoff, the cast has begun sharing heartfelt reactions that reveal just how deeply this show has meant to them.
Leading the response is Iain Armitage, who has grown up before viewers’ eyes as the young Sheldon Cooper. After learning that the upcoming seventh season would be the show’s last, Armitage took to social media with a message filled with gratitude, love, and determination. Alongside an on-set photo with his TV siblings Raegan Revord and Montana Jordan, he reassured fans that the final season will be something special.
“In case you wondered, I love my family,” Armitage wrote, emphasizing that Young Sheldon has always been more than just a job. He went on to acknowledge the nearly 200 people behind the scenes who helped bring the series to life, expressing deep appreciation for every single one of them. Most importantly, he made a promise that instantly resonated with fans: “We will make the best seventh season we can possibly make.”
But Armitage didn’t shy away from the emotional weight of the goodbye. He admitted that while the final season will be filled with laughter, it will also bring plenty of tears — a reflection of the bonds formed over seven years of working together. For fans who have followed Sheldon’s journey from the beginning, his words felt like both a reassurance and a shared goodbye.
Raegan Revord, who plays Sheldon’s twin sister Missy, echoed that emotion in just a few words. Commenting on Armitage’s post, she wrote, “Can’t stop crying. My family forever!” The simple message captured the heartbreak many fans are feeling — and highlighted just how close the cast has become. Their on-screen sibling dynamic clearly carried over into real life.
Adding even more emotional depth to the farewell, Annie Potts, who portrays the unforgettable Connie “Meemaw” Tucker, shared her own moving tribute. In an Instagram post, Potts reflected on what she called seven “fabulous, hilarious, fulfilling years” with the show. Calling the moment bittersweet, she expressed gratitude not only for the work itself, but for the people who made it meaningful.
Potts described her fellow cast members as feeling more like family than colleagues and praised their talent and dedication. She also thanked the loyal fanbase that helped make Young Sheldon such a massive success, noting how deeply appreciative she is of viewers who supported the show and helped it reach the top of the ratings. While she admitted she will miss the day-to-day process of making the series, Potts emphasized that she chooses to celebrate seven years of laughter, love, and unforgettable memories.
As previously announced, Young Sheldon will conclude with a 14-episode seventh season, culminating in a one-hour series finale airing Thursday, May 16, at 8 PM. Created by Chuck Lorre and Steven Molaro, the series has offered fans a heartfelt, often hilarious look at Sheldon Cooper’s childhood — balancing genius-level intellect with the challenges of growing up in a very normal Texas family.
As the countdown to the final season begins, one thing is clear: Young Sheldon isn’t just ending as a successful TV show. It’s saying goodbye as a family — and that’s what makes this farewell so emotional for everyone involved.
