Young Sheldon‘s series finale is coming, with some very big guest appearances. It’s been revealed that Jim Parsons will be reprising his fan-favorite role of Sheldon Cooper from The Big Bang Theory for the prequel’s one-hour finale on May 16 on CBS. He will be appearing alongside on-screen wife Mayim Bialik as Amy Farrah Fowler, and fans are as excited as ever.

Although Parsons serves as executive producer and narrator on Young Sheldon, this will mark his first on-screen appearance since Big Bang in 2019. Details surrounding the appearance are being kept under wraps, but knowing that Parsons is definitely coming back to once again say goodbye to Sheldon Cooper is enough to keep viewers happy and they are sharing all of their thoughts on social media.
