production
The idea for Young Sheldon came from Jim Parsons , who played the adult Sheldon Cooper in The Big Bang Theory , whom he suggested to the series' producers. In the fall of 2016, the idea was brought to CBS by Chuck Lorre and his team, who then commissioned the series in March 2017. After the pilot on September 25, 2017, they ordered a full season with 22 episodes. In January 2018, CBS extended the series for a second season. In February 2019, CBS ordered two more seasons. For season three, Matt Hobby was promoted to lead actor in his role as Pastor Jeff .
Young Sheldon is - in contrast to The Big Bang Theory - produced without an audience and therefore without a laughing track .
