Young Sheldon isn’t so young anymore.
The Big Bang Theory prequel series — which ran for seven seasons before its series finale in May 2024 — followed Sheldon Cooper and his family in the late ’80s and early ’90s as they navigated life in a small Texas town.
The chronicles of the Cooper clan have continued in a spinoff, Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage. It debuted in the fall of 2024 and has already been renewed for a second season.
But Young Sheldon has found a second life on Netflix, which added the sitcom’s last installment to its library on April 15. Before it climbed to the top of the streamer’s charts, actor Iain Armitage previously spoke about the show resonating with audiences.
“Pretty much everyone, no matter who you are, can somewhere related to at least some themes of this show,” he told PEOPLE in February 2024.
So where is the Young Sheldon cast now? Here’s everything to know about what the actors have been up to since the family comedy ended.

Iain Armitage played the titular character on Young Sheldon for the show’s seven seasons.
Armitage hasn’t starred in any projects since the end of Young Sheldon, but his hobbies have been hitting new heights — literally.
“I just got my pilot’s license, or my student pilot’s license,” he told PEOPLE in October 2024. “I hope will get my private [pilot’s license] when I’m 17. And I’ve been having a bunch of fun flying while I’m here in L.A.”
Armitage’s first major acting role was in HBO’s 2017 hit series Big Little Lies. During an interview on Live with Kelly and Mark in May 2024, Armitage said he would “be honored to be back” for season 3, which is reported in the works.

Lance Barber played George Cooper Sr., Sheldon’s father, on the series.
Even though George died in the final season of Young Sheldon, Cooper reprized his role for an episode of Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage, where he visited a bedridden Georgie (Montana Jordan) in a dream.
“Some of the people watching the scenes were visually emotionally seeing me on that kitchen set,” Barber said in an interview with USA Today about his return. “This is a beloved character.”
“It was fun to feel those feel and be so appreciated, even in the sadness,” he added.
