CBS releases new promo for The Big Bang Theory spinoff Young Sheldon

October 4, 2017 by Amie Cranswick

With just a month to go until the return of Young Sheldon, CBS has released a new promo for The Big Bang Theory spinoff series, which we have for you here; check it out…

It’s 1989, and we meet nine-year-old Sheldon Cooper, the beloved character from THE BIG BANG THEORY, who has skipped four grades to start high school alongside his less-intellectual older brother. We get a peek into the early years–with voiceover from Jim Parsons–of a genius who is misunderstood by his family, classmates and neighbors. His mother preps him with what she thinks is the only tool he’ll need to survive at his new school: remind bullies that his dad’s the football coach and his brother plays on the team. His twin sister, who’s happy to stay in fourth grade, has a better sense of what awaits Sheldon than he does. Young Sheldon may understand Newtonian physics, but his blue-collar, church-going family only cares if that knowledge will help them win a football game.

Young Sheldon is set to get underway on November 2nd on CBS. Ian Armitage takes on the role of young Sheldon, with Zoe Perry as Mary Cooper, Lance Barber as George Cooper, Reagan Revord as Missy, Montana Jordan as George Jr. and Annie Potts as Meemaw, while Jim Parsons serves as narrator.

Originally published October 4, 2017. Updated April 16, 2018.
