Unlike the Big Bang Theory, which focuses on Sheldon Cooper’s adult life, Young Sheldon is geared around Cooper’s childhood as he tries to navigate daily life with his seemingly ordinary family in Texas.

Set around two decades before the beginning of The Big Bang Theory, the prequel begins with the 9-year-old child prodigy landing in high-school – and quickly struggling to fit in with his quirky personality and great intellect.

The comedy series comes courtesy of Warner Bros Television and stars Iain Armitage playing the younger version of Cooper. The cast also consists of Zoe Perry, Lance Barber, Raegan Revord, Montana Jordan and Matt Hobby.

Jim Parsons, who stars as adult Cooper in the original show, has narrated the prequel from the very beginning.

Young Sheldon seasons 1-6 are available to watch now on Channel 4, with seasons 1-3 also available on Netflix.
