Young Sheldon’s story will continue to be told at CBS even if the original The Big Bang Theory arrives in the spring after 12 seasons on-air. The representatives of the station announced the renewal of the title with two new seasons, 3 and 4, respectively, joining the same title signed by Chuck Lorre, Mom, who previously received a similar order.

For a boy who manages to find meaning for everything, Sheldon has difficulty understanding his religious and loving football family. The episodes feature narrator Jim Parsons, Cooper’s interpreter in TBBT.
