Big Bang Theory Spinoff Young Sheldon Sets Premiere Date
CBS won't waste any time unleashing Young Sheldon upon the world.
The Big Bang Theory spinoff starring Iain Armitage (Big Little Lies, I'm Not Here) as a 9-year-old version of Jim Parsons' character will premiere Monday Sept. 25, right after the season 11 premiere of The Big Bang Theory.
The announcement came as part of an official unveil of the CBS fall schedule (via The Hollywood Reporter), and it suggests that the Monday at 8:30 PM time slot will be where Young Sheldon resides for now.
Created by Chuck Lorre and Steven Molaro of The Big Bang Theory, the show will follow Sheldon Cooper as he lives with his family in East Texas. Zoe Perry plays his mom, and Jim Parsons (who also serves as an executive producer) will narrate.
The CBS schedule also includes premieres for other new series including the comedy Me, Myself & I starring John Larroquette and Bobby Moynihan; the action SEAL Team starring David Boreanaz; and S.W.A.T. starring Andrew Adams.
