Season 7 of Young Sheldon is finally here – the first episode of this season will be released on February 15th on CBS and will then be shown in France on Netflix. As long-time fans know, this will be the final season of the series. But there is still something missing for this spin-off of “The Big Bang Theory” to appear successful in the eyes of fans. In the main series, the character of Sheldon was built specifically on the fact that his father died when he was 14. As his young version, played by Iain Armitage, prepares to celebrate his 14th birthday in Young Sheldon, it seems logical that the final episodes of the series would deal with George's death. Series creator and producer Steve Holland has also confirmed that this death will indeed take place on screen. “I don’t want to give anything away about what you will and won’t see, but that point will be raised. We're not obligated to respond to every anecdote told on “The Big Bang Theory,” but we are still committed to sticking to the big events that shaped Sheldon's life. We want to honor them,” he told American site TVLine.

If we are to believe the words he uttered as an adult on The Big Bang Theory, he will later regret not having friends to rely on during that time.

Lance Barber, who we had already seen in smaller roles before Sheldon's father – notably in the series Faking It between 2014 and 2016 – has already started his nostalgia phase. He posted a few photos on Instagram with the simple comment: “I'll miss the Cooper kids.”
