Young Sheldon had its CBS debut on September 25, 2017, and continued to run smoothly for seven seasons before concluding on May 16, 2024. The show follows the early life of eccentric boy prodigy Sheldon Cooper from the 90s sitcom The Big Bang Theory. Set in East Texas during the late 1980s and 1990s, the show focused on Sheldon's formative years that highlight both his academic genius in the field of mathematics and physics and his personal struggles to fit into society.

The series follows the daily happenings in the Cooper family. Alongside Sheldon, the show features his family members—his mother, Mary Cooper, his father, George Sr., his older brother, Georgie, his twin sister, Missy, and finally his grandmother, Meemaw—each of whose characters becomes a significant plot factor.

Iain Armitage starred as adolescent Sheldon Cooper, which quickly became his breakout role, showcasing his acting chops. Armitage's success in voice acting, television, and movies has made him the wealthiest member of the Young Sheldon cast, with an estimated net worth of $6 million by 2025.
