The Big Bang Theory spin-off Young Sheldon has been renewed for a second season.
The prequel, which is co-executive produced by Chuck Lorre & Jim Parsons, stars Iain Armitage as 9-year-old child prodigy Sheldon Cooper. Parsons narrates as the elder version of his character.
It has debuted well in the US as the No. 1 new comedy in viewers, adults 18-49 and adults 25-54.
“Young Sheldon has made a huge impact on our schedule in the short time it’s been on the air,” said Kelly Kahl, president of CBS Entertainment, in a statement. “While the show’s DNA is clearly rooted in The Big Bang Theory, Young Sheldon has staked out its own place in the TV universe with a unique creative tone, brilliant writing and a gifted multi-generational cast. We can’t wait to see Chuck, Steve, Jim and Todd’s vision for how the Cooper family deals with Sheldon growing a year older…and smarter.”
It is due to air in Australia this year on Nine.
