The Big Bang Theory became one of the best comedy series after having up to 12 seasons on air from 2007 to 2019, which managed to conquer all audiences despite starring a group of geek friends and brilliant scientists (Leonard, Sheldon, Howard y Raj), who worked at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), and their neighbor, the aspiring actress Penny.

The enormous success of the series for years raised its production costs, as its protagonists became stars who wanted to explore new paths, which was the case of Jim Parsons, who has since been seen in multiple projects. However, his love for his character made him opt for Young Sheldon, a prequel series that focuses on Cooper's childhood and adolescence.

However, like any series this will come to an end on May 16when its seventh and final season closes the story that, in one way or another, will once again feature Jim Parsons in the role of the adult version of the protagonistbeing possible through a vision of the future, since Mayim Bialik will also return in her role as Amy Farrah Fowler.

Jim Parsons confesses what it was like to be Sheldon Cooper again

In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, the actor who participated by providing his voice in the prequel, expressed that playing the character again “was even more beautiful than I expected”. Furthermore, he reveals that “one of the reasons why I was excited to do it is because what they wrote is very beautiful and I think that we were integrated into Mayim [Bialik] and me in the series in a wonderful way. I hope everyone agrees.”

In this way, five years later, Sheldon will return to the screen in a unique and different way because Young Sheldon “is a single-camera show and we were multi-camera, The whole aspect of the program was a really special experience. Going with Mayim, in a world in which we are real guests, and seeing these slightly older characters again, It was a completely different circumstance.“.

In Spain, the series called Young Sheldon is broadcast free-to-air on the Neox television channelwhile Netflix and Prime Video have their entire first five seasons. The new episodes arrive exclusively on Movistar+, while the streaming platform Max will have a second spin-off of The Big Bang Theory.
