CBS found the perfect show to follow “The Big Bang Theory” — a prequel.
The network released its fall primetime schedule Wednesday, showing that “Young Sheldon” will follow “The Big Bang Theory, even as the long-running hit sitcom switches nights.
During CBS’ run of “Thursday Night Football,” “The Big Bang Theory” will run at 8 p.m. on Monday, followed by the new sitcom “9JKL” on Oct. 2. Before that though, “Young Sheldon” will get a special one-time preview on Sept. 25 in the 8:30 p.m. timeslot.
After CBS completes its Thursday NFL obligations (for now), both “The Big Bang Theory” and “Young Sheldon” will move to Thursdays in the 8 p.m.
