Even as the show ends after seven seasons, a Young Sheldon spinoff has been announced called Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage that will continue the Coopers’ story. Young Sheldon is itself a prequel to the wildly popular Big Bang Theory and follows the fan-favorite character of Sheldon Cooper as he attempts to adjust to life as a brilliant and quirky child in Texas. Much like its predecessor, Young Sheldon became a smash hit in its own right and has necessitated the continuation of the larger Big Bang Theory universe under producer Chuck Lorre.
