“Big Bang Theory was always a live-audience show and Young Sheldon is a single-camera show, and I got to do it with Mayim — we both played Sheldon and Amy from the series — and to do it in that situation, it was just different enough that it wasn’t creepy,” Parsons explained, via Deadline. “Like going like, ‘What are we doing here again?!’ Instead, it was really sweet. It felt like the nicest little coda to the whole experience, and I was very grateful that they asked us to do it.”

Parsons, according to Deadline, was the voice narrator in the spinoff series Young Sheldon throughout the entire seven seasons. The series starred Iain Armitage (Big Little Lies, Scoob!, The Glass Castle) as the younger version of Sheldon Cooper. Furthermore, other stars of the series include Lance Barber (The Big Bang Theory, The Comeback, Bad Meat), Zoe Perry (Scandal, The Family, No Pay, No Nudity), Raegan Revord (Alexa & Katie, I See You, Stray), Montana Jordan (It Feels Evil, The Big Bang Theory, The Legacy of a Whitetail Deer Hunter), Matt Hobby (The Grinder, American Pie Two, Justine), Annie Potts (Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, Ghostbusters: Afterlife, Designing Women), Emily Osment (Hannah Montana, Young & Hungry, Hannah Montana: The Movie), and Wyatt McClure (Psychos, Glass Jaw, Miss Meadows).

Most recently, CBS has given the green light to order a Young Sheldon spinoff which stars fan-favorite actors, Osment and Jordan. According to Deadline, the plotline of the show will focus on Mandy (played by Osment) and Georgie’s (played by Jordan) lives in Texas, as now they have to raise their family, trying to manage their lives as married adults and parents.
