Created by Chuck Lorre and Steven Molaro, Young Sheldon season 7 finds the precocious boy wonder continue his idiosyncratic journey to meeting his future wife Amy, best friend Leonard and becoming a Nobel Prize-winning physicist.
All of the principal cast are back for the final season: Iain Armitage as the brilliant but socially inept Sheldon, Zoe Perry as Mary, his overprotective mother, Montana Jordan as his brother Georgie, Annie Potts as his grandmother, affectionately known as "Meemaw," and Lance Barber as his father George Cooper Sr.
When viewers reunited with the Cooper family, Mary was in Germany chaperoning Sheldon for his summer study program. It wasn't until well after they'd landed that they learned that a twister had bulldozed through Medford and razed Meemaw's home to the ground, leaving the earnings from her illegal casino business blowing in the wind.
Season 7 is proving to be bittersweet. There's the ever present possibility of an early exit for Sheldon's dad George, whose death around this time was mentioned in The Big Bang Theory. Yet fans should rest easy in the knowledge that this isn't the last for the Coopers. A flourishing future beckons for Sheldon, while the characters of Georgie Jr. and his fiancé Maddy — very soon due to be married — are getting their own spinoff show sometime in the next year, too.
Ready to see what the future holds for the Coopers? Then here's how to watch Young Sheldon season 7 from anywhere in the world. We've got all the information you'll need below.

Can I watch Young Sheldon season 7 in the UK?
While fans of Chuck Lorre's hit sitcom can enjoy seasons 1 through 5 of Young Sheldon on Netflix currently, it's unlikely that season 7 will be added to the streaming giant anytime soon. Season 5 was only belatedly added in July 2023, well over a year since it finished airing in the US.
More likely is that Young Sheldon season 7 will be broadcast on E4 in the UK in the upcoming months, and subsequently available to stream on Channel 4's on-demand platform. We still anticipate a long wait before that happens.
