Young Sheldon season 7 marks the return of the titular boy genius, who has emerged as a fan favorite over the years. Fans are eagerly awaiting the release of the latest and final installment of the prequel to The Big Bang Theory, and now CBS has officially announced that it will premiere in February 2024.
Young Sheldon season 6 ended on a bittersweet note. Sheldon finally decided to go to Germany for a summer program, something that was hinted at in an episode of The Big Theory. Meanwhile, Meemaw's house was wrecked by a tornado back home in Texas. The season also saw Mandy and Georgie get engaged.
In other words, Young Sheldon season 6 laid the foundation for the final installment of the comedy series.
When and where will Young Sheldon season 7 be released?
Young Sheldon season 7 will premiere on CBS on February 15, 2024. The first episode of the latest and last season of The Big Bang Theory prequel will air at 8 pm, the show’s usual timeslot.
In USA, the first three seasons of the comedy series are currently available on the streaming platform Netflix. However, the fourth, fifth, and sixth installments of the series aren’t part of the streamers content library at present. Going by this, it is unlikely that Young Sheldon season 7 will stream on Netflix at least immediately.
Interestingly, four seasons of Young Sheldon are currently available on Prime Video. This suggests that the final installment, too, is likely to land there eventually. All seasons are available for streaming on HBO Max, which is good news for those looking forward to the last one.
How many episodes will Young Sheldon season 7 have?
Young Sheldon season 7 is said to feature 15 episodes. If this is indeed the case, it will be a record for returning shows. The number will, however, be a bit lower than the benchmark set by The Big Bang Theory, as it had roughly 22 episodes per season.
The first episode will air on February 15, 2024. New episodes are expected to drop on a weekly basis, as was the case in the previous seasons.
The series finale is slated to air on May 16, nearly three months after the premiere. It will be an hour-long affair, which suggests that a grand farewell is on the cards. The final episode of Young Sheldon may feature guest stars as well as cameos from previous cast members, going by what one has seen on other season finales.
Why was Young Sheldon season 7 delayed?
New episodes of Young Sheldon are usually released during the fall. The makers had initially planned something similar for the final season. Young Sheldon season 7 was announced in March 2021.
However, it could not keep its date with the audience because of the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, due to which the makers of the series halted work in solidarity with others.
With the strikes over, Young Sheldon season 7 is set to go on floors this Thanksgiving. While this was disappointing for fans, it has also proved to be a blessing in disguise. The revised release date means that there will be fewer breaks. This, in turn, can result in a seamless viewing experience for fans.
Will there be Young Sheldon season 8?
There was speculation about Young Sheldon season 7 being the grand finale of the series. This stems from the fact that some of the events from the show appeared to be leading up to what unfolded on The Big Bang Theory. CBS officially confirmed this and announced that season 7 is the show’s last hurrah. In other words, season 8 is not happening.
The show's Executive producers said in a recent statement:
“Being able to tell the origin of Sheldon Cooper, and expanding the story to include the entire Cooper family has been a wonderful experience. We are grateful to our fans for embracing this chapter of the Coopers these past six seasons, and on behalf of the entire YOUNG SHELDON family, we’re excited to share this final season with you.”
The Big Bang Theory franchise, however, is set to expand further despite the fact that the prequel is almost at an end. A new project based on the show is said to be in the works at HBO Max. Plot details about the same are, however, yet to be revealed. It is likely to be released sometime in 2025.
Young Sheldon season 7 will premiere on CBS on February 15, 2024.
