“Young Sheldon” is growing into a second season: CBS has renewed its “Big Bang Theory” spinoff for the 2018-19 season.
The Iain Armitage-starring sitcom is the top new comedy of the season in both total viewers and the key 18-49 demographic.
“‘Young Sheldon’ has made a huge impact on our schedule in the short time it’s been on the air,” said Kelly Kahl, president, CBS Entertainment. “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.
