Young Sheldon, the prequel series to The Big Bang Theory, tells the story of the early life of main character, Sheldon Cooper. Now in its sixth season, the ‘80s and ’90s-set sitcom is quickly becoming as popular as the series that preceded it. While the younger version of Sheldon, played by Iain Armitage (and narrated by Jim Parsons, who played the adult Sheldon Cooper in TBBT) is the central character, other family members and side characters have become just as popular. Among these is Annie Potts as Connie aka “Meemaw”, Zoe Perry as his mother Mary, Lance Barber as his father George Sr., and breakout newcomers like Raegan Revord as Sheldon’s twin sister Missy and Montana Jordan and his older brother Georgie.

For fans of the TBBT, Young Sheldon introduces the origins of some of Sheldon’s most famous quirks and provides a glimpse into how Sheldon’s memories of events might not have been entirely accurate. But the show stands on its own as well as one about a middle-class, devoutly religious Texan family getting by day-to-day. Young Sheldon has even, from time to time, dealt with serious issues and topics, from infidelity to mental illness, bullying, and more. It’s precisely this balance that makes Young Sheldon popular among viewers of various age groups.

With season 6 currently underway and the show already renewed for a seventh season, there’s plenty of Sheldon to go around, and it can be streamed now on HBO Max. HBO Max is available as an add-on channel with Prime Video and fans of Young Sheldon can check out a subscription with a free 7-day trial.

Where Can I Watch Young Sheldon?

Young Sheldon airs on linear network channel CBS, but it is also available to stream on HBO Max, which can be accessed through the HBO Max website, as well as via a channel on Amazon Prime Video. HBO Max currently offers seasons 1 through 5, with season 6 episodes likely to be added once they conclude airing on CBS. Season 6 is on hiatus for the holidays, with new episodes returning on January 5, 2023. There are still more than half the season’s episodes to air.

For the latest season 6 episodes, Paramount+ offers the already aired season 6 episodes for streaming, but the back seasons are exclusive to HBO Max. FuboTV also has the latest season six episodes, which can be watched live as they air or on-demand afterward. In terms of where to stream Young Sheldon, there are a number of possibilities based on whether you want to go back and watch older episodes or keep on top of the latest season.

No, Young Sheldon is not available to stream on Netflix in the U.S. It is, however, streaming there in the U.K., Australia, Italy, and Switzerland. Each country, meanwhile, only offers select seasons of the sitcom through Netflix.

How Many Seasons Of Young Sheldon Are There?

There are currently 6 seasons of Young Sheldon, with season 6 of the sitcom currently airing, set to resume in the new year after the holiday season. In March 2021, CBS officially renewed Young Sheldon through to seven seasons. It’s possible the show could be renewed even further.

For fans of The Big Bang Theory, Young Sheldon is a must-watch series. But, as mentioned, you don’t need to have watched TBBT to truly appreciate the hilarious storylines and compelling characters.

When Does Young Sheldon Season 7 Come Out?

While season 7 of Young Sheldon has been confirmed, there’s no official release date yet. With previous seasons all being released in late September (season 4 was delayed to November and season 5 to October, likely due to the COVID-19 pandemic), it’s safe to assume that season 7 of Young Sheldon will be released in the Fall of 2023, most likely in late September.
