In the Young Sheldon series - which aired on CBS in May 2024 - Jimim Parsons reappears in person to play Sheldon Cooper, but old. Old Sheldon, if you want. This was a welcome surprise for the fanses of "Big Bang's theory", the show caused by Young Sheldon. Interest where Sheldon Cooper plays and Armitage is growing in an fictional city of East Medford, Texas. The younger Sheldon goes through a lot, and at the end of the series, he faces the most difficult challenge when His father George Cooper (Lance Barber) died. During the final of the series, Sheldon is considering losing his father ... And she notes that there are children, putting all this in perspective. "I've been focused on my father's shortcomings for a long time," he said in the latest episode of the show. "Now, when I am at his age and I have my own children, I realize that he was just a person who did the best he could, and he did a lot. I didn't say it to his funeral, but I can say it now. I wanted my father, I would miss me forever."

Wait - Sheldon and his wife Amy Farah Fowler (Maim Biakik) have children?! Not only do we know they have a son And Daughterler, but we also find out that the name of the son is Leonard and he plays hockey (very much at Sheldon Chagin). The couple also has a daughter, and until we learn her name in this episode, titled "Memoir", Sheldon apparently takes classes with her. So how old are these kids now?

"We're not saying, but their children in our minds are probably 11 or 12," Showner and creator Steve Molaro, who also worked on the Big Bang theory, told Glamor In the interview after the end of the series. "So, we're probably maybe five or six years in the future. But that's indefinable. "

This moment with Sheldon and Amy in the "Young Sheldon" final where they talk about their children is, a pretty, perfect way to put an end to the Prequel series ... And according to Jimim Parsons, it almost doesn't happen. In an interview with People's magazine On the eve of the final, Parsons said he was extremely concerned when he returned to play Sheldon againNot wanting to overcome his welcome and insecure whether he wants to play Sheldon Cooper again (aside from the voice he provided for the series).

"I felt a little hesitation when they first asked, just as I thought, I really didn't want to rethink the character," Parsons admitted to the exit. "But the way they wrote it was thinking so nice that it ended up as this little extra coda or whatever my experience with the character. It was this gift of the second layer of loss in a way I never saw how it came, and it was a real treatment."

Given all this, it is great that Parsons decided to return, and according to Steve Molaro and his colleague Fowner Steve Holland, it was also phenomenal for the creative team. "It was wonderful," Molaro said in a mentioned interview with Glamor when asked what it was like to welcome Parsons and Maim Biakik in the roles. "We communicate with Jimim all the time because he is the narrator of our show ... but let's see him as Sheldon on the set with Manim, it was emotional and surreal and exciting. It was the best day. "

"They are so good actors and so smart to watch that to see the elections they make at any moment were really fun to watch," Holland added. "There is Sheldon's physicality, the way Jimim has always played, and that is different than just the votes. Looking him there really returns the character. "

"Young Sheldon", including the final where we see Amy and Sheldon return and talk about their unprecedented children, are now moving to Max and Netflix.
