As ‘Young Sheldon‘ is set to bid farewell to its dedicated fanbase, the show makers have a treat planned for its viewers with the original Sheldon face Jim Parsons‘ special appearance in the finale. The actor would be reprising his iconic role as Sheldon Cooper from the prequel of the show ‘The Big Bang Theory’.
Though Parsons has very much been a part of ‘Young Sheldon‘ as he has narrated the show throughout its seven-season run, the actor recently shared his thoughts on returning to his old world of the quirky genius on screen.
Speaking on Friday’s episode of Today, Jim Parsons described the experience of reprising his role as “very weird“, but also “very beautiful.” In the highly anticipated finale, which is set for release on May 16, Parsons will also be joined by his former ‘Big Bang Theory‘ co-star Mayim Bialik reprising her role as Amy Farrah Fowler.
The ‘Young Sheldon‘ finale will mark the first time that the characters from the original series will appear on screen in ‘Young Sheldon‘. While details about their onscreen reunion remain a secret, Parsons said he was thankful for the opportunity.

Reflecting on the crossover, Jim Parsons spoke about the dynamic of filming with Bialik, especially given the differences between the live-audience format of ‘The Big Bang Theory‘ and the single-camera setup of ‘Young Sheldon‘.
“Big Bang Theory was always a live-audience show and Young Sheldon is a single-camera show, and I got to do it with Mayim — we both played Sheldon and Amy from the series — and to do it in that situation, it was just different enough that it wasn’t creepy,” Parsons said during the interview.
“To do it in that situation, it was just different enough that it wasn’t creepy… Instead, it was really sweet. It felt like the nicest little coda to the whole experience, and I was very grateful that they asked us to do it,” Parsons said.
‘Young Sheldon‘ has Iain Armitage in the lead role playing the younger version of Sheldon Cooper, with the story narrative revolving around the character’s adolescent years before ‘The Big Bang Theory‘.
Though ‘Young Sheldon‘ is bidding farewell to its beloved audience, the ‘Big Bang Theory‘ universe continues to expand with the announcement of a spinoff around Georgie Cooper and his wife Mandy raising their family in Texas. The pivotal characters would be played by Montana Jordan and Emily Osment respectively.
