Young Sheldon is a prequel to Big Bang and follows the character of Sheldon during his younger years. Parsons played him as an adult in Big Bang and Ian Armitage brought him to life in Young Sheldon.

Young Sheldon is a once-in-a-generation mind capable of advanced mathematics and science which isn’t always helpful in a land where church and football are king. And while the vulnerable, gifted and somewhat naïve Sheldon deals with the world, his very normal family must find a way to deal with him.

In addition to Armitage, Zoe Perry, Lance Barber, Annie Potts, Montana Jordan, Raegan Revord, Emily Osment and Jim Parsons (as the voice of Sheldon) also star.
