Young Sheldon season 3 is coming, but when will it premiere and what can fans expect from the story? Young Sheldon finished its second season the same night The Big Bang Theory ended. But unlike it parent series, the spinoff is slated to return for more adventures for the boy genius and his family. Here’s everything we know about the third season of the prequel show.
Created by the same minds behind The Big Bang Theory, Chuck Lorre and Steven Molaro, Young Sheldon debuted in 2017 with a 22-episode first season. Set in 1989, the show chronicles Sheldon’s years as a high school student in Galveston, Texas. Through the prequel, fans are able to see the fan-favorite character’s life in living with his family before he moved to Pasadena and became roommates with Leonard. Sheldon’s parents, George Sr. and Mary, as well as his siblings, Georgie and Missy play integral roles in the series, alongside Meemaw.
On the heels of The Big Bang Theory‘s cancellation, CBS renewed Young Sheldon for two more seasons, locking its TV return later this year and 2020. But first, we look at what the immediate future lies ahead for the boy genius in Young Sheldon season 3.
Young Sheldon Season 3 Release Date Info
In the first two seasons, the Young Sheldon premiere date has tied into The Big Bang Theory‘s own premiere, but despite its parent series wrapping up after 12 seasons, there’s a good chance that the spinoff will have a similar schedule. Young Sheldon season 3 should premiere sometime in the third week of September, just like in the last two years.
With Young Sheldon already locked in for at least two more seasons, it’s all but confirmed that it’ll remain on its Thursday time slot during the next fall TV season. Unless CBS implements a massive shake-up to cover the void that The Big Bang Theory is leaving in its programming schedule, there’s no reason that Young Sheldon moves to another day, especially considering that it’ll be partnered up with another hit comedy, Mom (also co-created by Lorre), starring Anna Faris and Allison Janney.
