Development[]
In November 2016, it was reported that CBS and Netflix were in negotiations to create a spin-off of The Big Bang Theory centered on Sheldon ͏Cooper as a young boy. The prequel series, described as "a Malcolm in the Middle-esque single-camera family comedy" would be executive produced by The Big Bang Theory co-creator Chuck ͏Lorre and producer Steven ͏Molaro, with The Big Bang Theory co-creator Bill Prady expected to be involved in some capacity, and intended to air in the 2017–18 season alongside The Big Bang Theory. The initial idea for the series came from Jim ͏ Parsons (who portrays the older Sheldon on The Big Bang Theory), who passed it along to The Big Bang Theory producers. On March 13, 2017, CBS ordered the spin-off Young Sheldon series, which was created by Lorre and Molaro. Jon ͏Favreau directed and executive produced the pilot. Parsons, Lorre, Molaro and Todd ͏Spiewak also serve as executive producers on the series, for Chuck ͏ Lorre Productions, Inc. in association with Warner Bros. Television. On September 27, 2017, CBS picked up the series for a full season of 22 episodes. On January 6, 2018, the show was renewed for a second season.
