How to watch Season 7

New episodes of Young Sheldon Season 7 will premiere on CBS before dropping on Paramount Plus the next day.

Additionally, Season 7 episodes are also available to catch up with on the CBS app and website. Seasons 1-6 of Young Sheldon can be found on both Max and Netflix.

Is Season 8 happening?

No, Young Sheldon Season 8 won’t be happening, with Season 7 ending the show for good.

“There [are] certain things that we know happened in Sheldon’s life when he’s 14, as the character is this season, and we started talking about the future of the show and what it would look like,” executive producer Steve Holland stated via TribLive.com about the show’s end. “We know he goes off to Caltech at 14. It just felt like the right time to end the show and to end it strong while it was still on top.”

Fellow executive producer Chuck Lorre added: “That’s a level of hubris that I think gets in the way of doing a good job. You do what feels right. You do what feels appropriate for the characters and the relationships, the tone of the show. You do stuff that touches yourself, and then you hope someone agrees with you.”

However, Young Sheldon is getting its own sequel spinoff, starring Montana Jordan and Emily Osment in their roles as Georgie and Mandy. Nothing is known about its plot or further details, but episodes are expected to begin filming in July.
