‘Young Sheldon’ takes its final bow: CBS announces seventh and farewell season, shortened episodes, and an hour-long grand finale

CBS bids farewell to the beloved comedy series Young Sheldon as it embarks on its concluding seventh season. The decision comes as events referenced in its predecessor, The Big Bang Theory, are set to unfold. The upcoming season, comprising 14 episodes, will be shorter due to disruptions caused by industry strikes. The series finale, scheduled for May 15, 2024 will be an hour-long special. Launched in 2017, Young Sheldon has consistently drawn millions of viewers, securing its place as the number-one comedy show for the 2022-2023 season. Executive producers Chuck Lorre, Steve Molaro, and Steve Holland express gratitude for the journey, promising a memorable send-off for fans. The final season is set to premiere on February 15, 2024.
