Young Sheldon season 7 plot: What will happen?
Details about what viewers can expect in the upcoming chapter are scarce, with producers of the show keeping tight-lipped about what fans can expect from the spin-off series.
In an interview with TVLine, executive producer Stever Holland confirmed that “larger events” that have shaped Sheldon’s life will be honoured in the series.
“I don’t want to say what you will or won’t see, but things will get addressed,” Holland told the publication.
“We are not beholden to every joke that was ever made on The Big Bang Theory, but we do feel beholden to the larger canon and the larger events that shape Sheldon’s life. We want to honour those.”
At the end of season 6, Sheldon headed off with Mary to spend the summer in Germany as part of his mission to make it to Caltech.
Back home, a tornado destroyed Meemaw’s house, which prompted George to invite both her and Mandy to stay with them.
In big news, Mandy proposed to Georgie, with the latter borrowing money from Meemaw to purchase an engagement ring.
It remains to be seen if Sheldon and Missy can put their differences aside after the former informed their parents that his sister was sneaking out of the house late at night.
