A ‘Big Bang Theory’ Spinoff TV Show Is Coming

You’ll see in the trailer that his outspokenness came at an early age, and he’s also always been very good at outsmarting those around him, just as you’d imagine. But seeing Sheldon as a little boy in “Young Sheldon” will certainly make his all-grown-up character in “The Big Bang Theory” even more lovable.

Young Sheldon is played by Iain Armitage, and the actor does a great job of portraying Sheldon’s quick wit. If you like what you see in this five-minute snippet, then you’re going to want to tune in when the show airs starting September 25. It’ll move to Thursday slot on November 2, according to TODAY.

The newly-married Jim Parsons, who plays the adult version of Sheldon, couldn’t be more excited for the backstory. “It made me realize I’m even more fond of this character than I thought I was,” he told Inside Edition.

So, if someone this familiar with the character (he has played him for 11 seasons, after all) could fall even more in love with him after seeing this show, you surely will, too.

As it’s 11 seasons reveals, “Big Bang Theory” has a devoted audience, so it’s no surprise that the early fan reaction to the show seems positive:
