We’ve known a Young Sheldon season 7 was happening for a long time now, and we absolutely can’t wait to see what’s in store next for the Cooper gang! Though the series is billed a comedy, it’s certainly more dramatic than its flagship series, The Big Bang Theory.
The Cooper family has a lot to deal with, and we see that more and more each season. The next one we’ve got our eyes set on now is season 7. Here’s everything we know about the next chapter of the story ahead of its release!
Has the Young Sheldon season 7 release date been announced?
CBS has revised their fall TV schedule following the actors strike and continuing writers strike. Young Sheldon will air reruns on Thursday nights instead of new episodes in fall 2023. It’s not yet known when new episodes will premiere. We predict it won’t be back this year, but hopefully we could get a January-March 2024 release date.
The WGA has confirmed that it will sit down with the AMPTP on Friday to try to put an end to the writers strike that has been going on since May 2.
Unfortunately, a Young Sheldon season 7 release date has not been announced yet by CBS. Though we are supposed to get the next chapter of the story in fall 2023, which is the regular timeslot of the series. Due to the writers strike by the Writers Guild of America (WGA), the new season’s release could be delayed. Or, there may be enough material for a number of episodes to come in the fall. Time will tell what will happen here.
Traditionally, past seasons have aired towards the end of September, except seasons 4 and 5 which were released in November and October, respectively. This was due to the pandemic. So if season 7 follows the same pattern, we’re expecting it at the end of September 2023.
Is Young Sheldon season 7 filming?
It’s unclear whether filming had started before the writers strike went into effect. But whether any filming has bene done or not yet, CBS has still chosen to push the seventh season’s release date. That probably means they didn’t have enough material to air the first few episodes that would have taken us into around December before the show took its regular winter break, returning in January.
Young Sheldon season 7 cast
We don’t have an official cast list yet, however we do expect the main members of the Cooper gang to return, as well as some of the guest characters that have been popping up in multiple episodes. Here’s who we expect to see back:
Main cast members:
- Iain Armitage as Sheldon
- Jim Parsons as the voice of adult Sheldon
- Zoe Perry as Mary Cooper
- Lance Barber as George Cooper
- Montana Jordan as Georgie
- Raegan Revord as Missy
- Annie Potts as “Connie”/Meemaw
- Emily Osment as Mandy McAllister
Recurring and guest cast:
- Craig T. Nelson as Dale Ballard
- Matt Hobby as Pastor Jeff Difford
- Melissa Peterman as Brenda Sparks
- Wyatt McClure as Billy Sparks
- Wallace Shawn as John Sturgis
- Ed Begley Jr. as Dr. Grant Linkletter
- Wendie Malick as President Linda Hagemeyer
- Dan Byrd as Pastor Rob
- Rachel Bay Jones as Audrey McAllister (Mandy’s mom)
- Will Sasso as Jim McAllister (Mandy’s dad)
One character we love to see all the time is troubled teen Paige, played by actress McKenna Grace. It’s not known yet if she’s going to be in the seventh season. The last time we saw the character was in season 6 episode 13, “A Stolen Truck and Going on the Lam.” Missy runs away from home and her friend Paige tags along.
What is Young Sheldon season 7 about?
We don’t have details about the seventh season and what it’s going to be about just yet. However based on the season 6 finale, we have a rough idea of where the story is probably going. Sheldon and Mary headed to Germany for his summer study abroad, so we’ll probably be seeing that. There’s also the aftermath of the tornado that hit Medford, Texas – which includes the complete destruction of Meemaw’s home. And finally, Georgie and Mandy decided to get married. Let’s see if they actually go through with it!
How old was Sheldon when his dad died?
Since we don’t know the plot for the seventh season yet, it’s hard to know whether the new chapter in the story will have a time jump. There’s some mixed reports on how old Sheldon is in season 6. But he’s either 12 or 13 years old. In The Big Bang Theory, season 7 episode 9, we’re told that George dies when Sheldon is 14 years old. So unfortunately, this storyline inches closer and closer.
How many episodes are in Young Sheldon season 7?
We don’t know an exact episode count yet, but we’re expecting the seventh season to be 22 episodes like most of its predecessors. The exception was season 4 that had a total of 18 episodes due to the pandemic.
Where to watch Young Sheldon season 7
Young Sheldon seasons 1-5 are all streaming on Max. Season 7 should hold the show’s regular timeslot of 8 p.m. ET on Thursday nights on CBS. New episodes will begin streaming the next day on Paramount+. As of June 26, 2023 only five episodes of season 6 are on Paramount+. The full season should be added to Max at some point soon.
Young Sheldon has a TV-PG rating, meaning parental guidance is recommended and the series may be unsuitable for younger children. While the story is pretty clean, there are some more mature themes that are discussed at times.
Is Young Sheldon season 8 happening?
No official news has come about a season 8 yet. The one big storyline Young Sheldon viewers are waiting for is the fact that based on the story established in The Big Bang Theory (the show’s flagship series), George cheats on Mary and he dies when Sheldon is young. We wonder if that will be part of the season 7 storyline.
Will there be any The Big Bang Theory cameos in Young Sheldon season 7?
Over the seasons, we haven’t had any cameos in person from the original cast members from TBBT, however they’ve done voiceover cameos. This makes sense as the comedy is a prequel to TBBT. The ones who made voiceover cameos are Kaley Cuoco as Penny, Simon Helberg as Howard, and Mayim Bialik as Amy. We would love to see more next season!
Is there another The Big Bang Theory spinoff in the works?
In April 2023, Max announced that another The Big Bang Theory spinoff is coming to the streamer at some point. A release date, cast, and synopsis have not been announced yet. The company hasn’t even made it clear whether the new show will be a prequel like Young Sheldon or a sequel to the flagship series. All we do know at the moment is that co-creator of TBBT Chuck Lorre is attached to the project.
