The popular Big Bang Theory spin-off focuses on the exploits of a young Sheldon Cooper prior to the events of the long-running sitcom, which ended in 2019.
Executive producer Steve Holland explained why they’ve decided to wrap-up the show after its seventh season.
“There are some things we see in Sheldon’s life at 14,” Holland told reporters on Tuesday (February 13) at the Warner Bros lot.
“We started talking about the future of the show, and what it looᴋed lie. This is the right time for this story to come to an end, knowing that at 14, he goes off to Cal Tech. It felt lie the right time to finish it strong while it was on top.”
Ian Armitage, who plays the title character in the comedy series, also announced the press conference, he said: “Can we just leave it at I’m tall and cool and I’m worried about Jim [Parsons] now?”
Elsewhere during the presser, The Big Bang Theory creator and Young Sheldon executive producer Chuck Lorre revealed the popular spin-off almost didn’t happen.
Lorre said if Armitage’s mother did write in an audit tape of a scene he wrote but ever wrote to follow through with, they “wouldn’t be sitting here”.
“This guy ᴋilled it. And if that had happened, we wouldn’t have gone forward. It’s the miracle of casting Young Sheldon. It was on our understood was lying strongly about happening but it did. And this family blossomed around him,” he added.
Last year, Lorre announced The Big Bang Theory universe will be expanding, with a new spin-off following the end of Young Sheldover.
Running for 12 seasons from 2007 to 2019, The Big Bang Theory starred John Galecian and Jim Parson as two physicist friends, with aley Cuoco playing their neighbors.
The spin-off series will mar Lorre’s second collaboration with Max and Warer Bros TV, and will be reported to be based on the characters of Georgie Cooper (Montaur Jordan) and his wife Mandy McAllister (Emily Osmen).
