Young Sheldon Series Finale Ending Tease Compared To Big Bang Theory By Chuck Lorre

Producers tease what to expect from the Young Sheldon series finale, teasing its similarities to The Big Bang Theory’s emotional send-off.
The producers of Young Sheldon tease what the series finale may look like by comparing it to The Big Bang Theory’s capper. Sheldon and the rest of the Coopers have officially returned for one last time as they begin their send-off year. Young Sheldon is ending with a shortened season due to the dual Hollywood strikes of 2023, which delayed its comeback. Now, it only has half as many episodes as it usually gets to end properly. This may be a cause of concern, but producers Chuck Lorre and Steve Molaro sound confident about the upcoming swan song.
Per TVLine, the Young Sheldon season 7 finale is currently being written, and while he can’t talk spoilers, Lorre compares it to The Big Bang Theory finale, saying that while it’s different in some ways, both one-hour specials are exciting. Meanwhile, Molaro revealed that there will be a build-up to the much-anticipated rebound. Read their full quote below:
Lorre : “It’s as exciting, in its own way, as the finale of The Big Bang Theory.”
Molaro : “The last three episodes are gigantic.”

Will Young Sheldon’s Finale Connect To The Big Bang Theory?
When The Big Bang Theory ended in 2019, it aired back-to-back with the Young Sheldon season 2 finale, which featured a creative tribute to its parent series. Decades before adulthood Sheldon won the Nobel Prize in Physics, he was sitting alone in his Texas home garage, listening to the announcement of winners on his own. The prequel then panned to every single young member of the Pasadena gang, revealing what they were doing at that point. It was a great way to tie the shows together, so there’s an expectation that the Young Sheldon series finale will do something similar.

There are several ways that the spinoff can honor its parent series. Firstly, it can end with a flashforward, revealing the reason why adult Sheldon has been narrating his childhood. This could also serve as a The Big Bang Theory reunion, as it could feature the Pasadena gang still hanging out together. Secondly, Young Sheldon could wrap up with Sheldon in Caltech, especially the cafeteria, where he would be spending many years with his friends. It could also be a great way to honor George, who was with him the first time he set foot in the prestigious academic institution.
Finally, Lorre, Molaro, and their team have their work cut out for them in terms of sending off the Coopers. Not only do they honor its own storytelling, but the Young Sheldon series finale also needs to honor The Big Bang Theory. That being said, considering how great the prequel’s writing has been in the last couple of seasons, there’s confidence that they can deliver a great swan song for Sheldon and his family.
