The spin-off comedy scores a two-season pickup.
February 22, 2019
CBS announced a two-season renewal for Young Sheldon today - the first of its kind for the comedy - that will see it on the air through Season 4. The Chuck Lorre-created spin-off has been one of the network's top comedies over the course of its run.
Premiering in 2017, the show was quick to find an audience thanks to it being based on the early life of popular Big Bang Theory character Sheldon Cooper. With The Big Bang Theory set to end this year, Young Sheldon could become TV's most-watched comedy and in all probability will take over its predecessor's time slot going forward.
Young Sheldon follows a 9-year-old Sheldon Cooper growing up in East Texas. At a young age, his advanced mathematical and scientific mind isn't necessarily helpful when living in a town where football and church get all the attention. Vulnerable, gifted and naive, Sheldon is embarking on his awkward journey toward the man he will become.
3 cheers for seasons 3 and 4! 🎉 #YoungSheldon has been picked up for two more seasons! https://t.co/hdjgBOdu9O pic.twitter.com/5xYCl2JEpB

Young Penny... wow that could be interesting, maybe not 'young' as in 9 year old - but a teenage Penny...
a Young Leonard, with as horrible as his mom sounds.. could have some fun!
I'm not sure about a Howard or Raj, because those two play off each other to well, and if they aren't there younger idk... lol
but yeah TBBT is amazing, I am enjoying this spin-off, but would also love to see more spin-offs, in reverse! (as in not after like Joey from Friends, but like this -as their younger selves)
