Jim Parsons and Mayim Bialik are back for one last bashing!
Big Bang Theory students will reprise their roles as Sheldon Cooper and Amy Farrah Fowler for Young Sheldon series finale airing May 16 on CBS.
Young Sheldon follows Cooper’s life as a 9-year-old child prodigy living with his family and attending high school in Texas. The series stars Iain Armitage in the title role and also features Zoe Perry, Annie Potts, Montana Jordan, Raegan Revord and Lance Barber.
Although Parsons and Bialik’s cameo will be the first time any of the original cast members will physically appear in the prequel series, Parsons has narrated the show for all seven seasons, and Bialik previously co-narrated as Amy in two episodes.

In November 2023, CBS announced that the hit spinoff would end with its seventh and final season.
“Being able to tell the origin of Sheldon Cooper and expand the story to include the entire Cooper family was a wonderful experience,” executive producers Steve Holland, Steven Molaro and Chuck Lorre said in a joint statement to PEOPLE. “We are grateful to our fans for embracing this chapter of the Coopers over the past six seasons, and on behalf of the whole Young Sheldon family, we are excited to share this final season with you.”

In an interview with PEOPLE last month, Armitage reflected on the past seven years on the show and how it left a lasting impact on his life.
“It’s been half my life, it’s kind of wild to think about it, but it’s so much fun, so wonderful, and I couldn’t have asked for a better way to grow up,” he told PEOPLE last month. “Every single person that I work with, I feel so honored to be able to work with them and to be their costar or … to be a part of their business and a part of their livelihood.”

As the cast moves on to their next projects, Armitage revealed that he hopes to keep the show going by adopting a trait or two of his eccentric character.
“It’s funny, because I’m always kind of joking about method acting [which] it seems so silly to me… but it’s weird. I really kind of feel like half Sheldon, half Ian,” he explained. I always hope to approach the world and people as uniquely and really focused on each person as I can.”
