Young Sheldon Season 7 Gets Promising Update From Raegan Revord
A spin-off of the beloved sitcom looks set for a seventh season.
Young Sheldon proved to be a worthy successor to The Big Bang Theory, one of the most iconic sitcoms of its era. The opportunity to follow Sheldon Cooper in his younger years was a gift to long-time fans of the series, who were instantly captivated by young Sheldon himself and his incredibly caring, albeit slightly odd, family.
While season six is currently airing, all eyes are on the upcoming seventh (and possibly the last) season of the series.
The biggest revelation of Young Sheldon was undoubtedly Raegan Revord, who plays Sheldon's twin sister Missy. Although the character appeared in the original show too, she was, to say the least, underdeveloped. In the spin-off, Missy was given ample time to grow into an interesting and beloved character whose presence has been essential to the series' success — and that's why fans were so delighted to hear the promising news of the upcoming seventh season from Revord.
"That's a wrap on Season 6! Even after all this time I can’t believe I get to be a part of this incredible show surrounded by the most loving and supportive cast and crew! See you this summer for Season 7!" wrote Revord on her Instagram page.
It looks like filming for the seventh season will begin this summer, which suggests that CBS is aiming for a regular September release date. However, fans are worried that the upcoming season would be the show's last because, with Sheldon turning 14, his storyline must change drastically thereafter.
According to the original series, Sheldon moved from Pasadena at the age of 14, leaving his family in Texas to attend Caltech University. What's more, his father George died that same year, and many viewers think there is no point in continuing the show without this important character.
Some suggest CBS could wrap up Young Sheldon after the seventh season and instead develop a new spin-off centered on Georgie or the other Coopers, excluding Sheldon.
Fans would certainly support this idea!
Young Sheldon season six, episode 16 will arrive on CBS on March 30, 2023.
