The spin-off of The Big Bang Theory is preparing to say goodbye to fans after seven seasons.
It’s never easy to say goodbye to a series two that has kept us company for several years and, often, it’s not even easy for the actors who work on it. Some, however, are more upset than others. It is the case of Annie Pottsthe actress who in Young Sheldon she plays the protagonist’s grandmother Connie “Granny” Tucker. Potts openly criticized CBS’s decision to close the series after seven seasons, saying she was “completely unprepared” and incredulous, given the excellent ratings that the spin-off of The Big Bang Theory continues to record to the network.
Young Sheldon: What Annie Potts thinks of the cancellation
“It was especially difficult for me because I was completely unprepared. I was shocked. I mean, we’re the No. 1 show on network TV, No. 1 on Netflix. We’re, I think, everything that people watch on TikTok besides a couple of pasta recipes. It just seemed like a stupid business move,” said the interpreter of Sheldon Cooper’s beloved grandmother (Iain Armitage). According to her there were no conditions to justify a cancellation. “Forgive me, but I don’t know. If a show starts to drag or slow down or have a lack of story or whatever, then you kind of see the cancellation coming. But we were totally ambushed in this case.” , has continued.
The farewell, not exactly definitive, to Young Sheldon
Last November CBS announced that season 7 of the prequel to The Big Bang Theory it would be the last. On the other hand, in this last chapter Sheldon turns 14, which is the age at which, according to the chronology set by The Big Bang Theory, the character moves from Medford, Texas to Pasadena, California to begin his college studies at the California Institute of Technology. The series therefore closes a circle by reuniting, in some way, with the original sitcom.
The executive producers Chuck Lorre, Steve Molaro And Steve Hollandfollowing the network’s announcement, said in a joint statement: “Being able to tell the origins of Sheldon Cooper and expand the story to include the entire Cooper family has been a wonderful experience. We are grateful to our fans for embracing this chapter of the Coopers for the last six seasons and, on behalf of the entire family of Young Sheldonwe are thrilled to share this final season with you.”
The franchise continues with a new spin-off
In some ways, however, this will not be a final farewell to the Cooper family since CBS has already ordered a spin-off of Young Sheldon centered on Georgie Cooper (Montana Jordan) and his wife Mandy (Emily Osment), while raising their family in Texas. The franchise, therefore, continues and it is not certain that, in addition to Montana and Osment, we will not see other actors and characters already known in the new TV series.
