Young Sheldon Creator Teases Season 7 Finale Will Rival Big Bang Theory Ending

As Young Sheldon approaches its grand finale, fans of both the spinoff and its predecessor, The Big Bang Theory, are preparing themselves to say goodbye to Sheldon Cooper all over again. The series has been a witty, heartwarming exploration of Sheldon Cooper’s early life, and showrunners Chuck Lorre and Steve Molaro have hinted that the finale will aim to be very much like that of The Big Bang Theory in closing out the series with an emotional but celebratory ending.

That is not a small task by any means, as the finale of The Big Bang Theory was a well-received and almost completely satisfying closure to the series. Young Sheldon must now, once again, bring one of Lorre’s popular creations to its conclusion in a way that leaves fans feeling that they have not been left wanting. TVLine revealed that the series finale is currently in the process of being written, and when responding to the question of what fans can expect, Lorre responded:

This view was backed up by executive producer Steve Molaro, who noted that “the last three episodes are gigantic,” in reference to the episodes leading up to the finale.

How Will Young Sheldon end?

There has been a lot of speculation among fans about how Young Sheldon will bridge the gap between its story and The Big Bang Theory. While some have suggested that the finale could include a flashforward showcasing adult Sheldon’s reasons for narrating his childhood or a reunion of the Pasadena gang, it could be that there will not be a transition per se, and the show will simply bring this chapter of the story to a close on its own terms without directly linking into the original series.

The Big Bang Theory continues to be a huge crowd-pleaser on streaming platforms, and Young Sheldon proved to be every bit as successful after displacing Prime Video’s mighty Reacher from the top of the streaming charts following its arrival on Netflix last month. This means that it won’t be the last we see from the universe of The Big Bang Theory.

Big Bang Theory Creator Chuck Lorre Hints at a New Series Spinoff

Chuck Lorre whets fans appetite with clues to The Big Bang Theory Spinoff adventure.

Late in 2023, Lorre gave an update on the new spin-off that is being produced for Max. While promoting the series Bookie, Lorre was questioned about the latest addition to the franchise, and teasingly said:

“It’s prenatal. Yeah, you don’t talk about the birth until the second trimester, I believe, is the rule. That’s a long way of saying no, I’ve got nothing to say about it other than it’s something that we are discussing.”

Since then, it has been confirmed that this spin-off will focus on Georgie and Mandy. So it seems that although the door is closing on Young Sheldon, fans can rest in the knowledge that the wheels are already in motion to deliver yet another angle on the universe of The Big Bang Theory. The only negative point, is that the new show will likely not air until sometime in 2025.
