Young Sheldon season 7: Release date, cast, plot and latest news
Everything you need to know.
It's finally time for UK fans of Young Sheldon to rejoice as a release date has now been confirmed for the final season of The Big Bang Theory spin-off.
With the finale having already aired in the US earlier this year, it's safe to say that there's been a fair share of FOMO on this side of the pond. Well, the good news is that the seventh and final season is making its way to us this week.
It's set to be a rollercoaster of emotions as we close the chapter on Sheldon Cooper's story. Making its debut in 2017, the series has followed Cooper as he grew up in his small hometown in Texas and struggled to fit in.
A spin-off the hugely successful The Big Bang Theory, the series has continued to dominate the TV comedy landscape with over 2.5 million viewers, according to CBS Entertainment president Kelly Kohl.
"The humour, warmth and heart exuded by the Cooper family is an undeniable hook for the millions of fans who tune in each week," she previously said in a statement.
This is the last outing for the Sheldon-related universe, but the good news is that there's set to be a sequel series all about Georgie and Mandy.

Young Sheldon season 7 plot: What will happen?
Of course, the series has already wrapped up stateside so we'll be sure not to reveal too many details.
In an interview with TVLine, executive producer Stever Holland confirmed that "larger events" that have shaped Sheldon's life will be honoured in the series.
"I don't want to say what you will or won’t see, but things will get addressed," Holland told the publication.
"We are not beholden to every joke that was ever made on The Big Bang Theory, but we do feel beholden to the larger canon and the larger events that shape Sheldon’s life. We want to honour those."
At the end of season 6, Sheldon headed off with Mary to spend the summer in Germany as part of his mission to make it to Caltech.
Back home, a tornado destroyed Meemaw's house, which prompted George to invite both her and Mandy to stay with them.
In big news, Mandy proposed to Georgie, with the latter borrowing money from Meemaw to purchase an engagement ring.
It remains to be seen if Sheldon and Missy can put their differences aside after the former informed their parents that his sister was sneaking out of the house late at night.
