CBS has finally confirmed the release date for the sixth season of the coming-of-age sitcom Young Sheldon. The period drama is a spinoff of The Big Bang Theory series (2007-2019), the story focusing on a younger Sheldon Cooper, as the title suggests. The show’s fifth season was aired in 2020, and the show was renewed for two more seasons—at least as of now.
The show has amassed a large fanbase over the years, even managing to retain it after the end of its predecessor. Season 5 showed the family going through various ups and downs. When Georgie (Montana Jordan) got Mandy pregnant, all of the Cooper family was massively affected, except for Missy (Raegan Revord). Missy seems to be the only one taking the drama with graceful ease, even lending an ear to her brothers and mother venting out.
George (Lance Barber) and Mary (Zoe Perry) have been struggling with making ends meet after losing their jobs, putting a strain on their marriage. Sheldon (Iain Armitage) has to bear the tangled mess of a family seemingly falling apart while pursuing academic excellence. This year, the Coopers will return with hopefully some revived energy in the dramatic turn their lives have taken, and now we know when exactly.
Posted on the official Young Sheldon Twitter account, CBS confirmed the release of Season 6 to be on September 29, 2022. No additional information was shared, apart from the date—but fans are ecstatic with this news alone. Here’s the original tweet by the Twitter account:
The show will return to CBS and Paramount Plus weekly on Thursdays at 8 P.M. ET, retaining its original time slot.
Previously, this slot was fixed for the Big Bang Theory, to ensure the viewership for the spinoff to not dwindle by focusing on inviting its predecessor’s fanbase. For the two years that the show shared a screen with The Big Bang Theory, fans were ensured an hour of back-to-back comedy from their favorite geek and scientist.
CBS has chosen this particular time slot to retain the attention of their fanbase since they plan to keep the show alive at least till 2023. Though, going by the enthusiasm of the fans of the show, it may hardly seem necessary. They are just grateful to the cast and crew for bringing them another season full of drama and comedy with their favorite TV family.
