Fans of Young Sheldon have been patiently waiting for news from Netflix as to when they will be able to binge their way through the seventh and final season of the popular Big Bang Theory prequel. Now the streamer has revealed when Season 7 will be added to the first six seasons currently on the platform – and it is just around the corner.
While the final season of the show is streaming on Max in the U.S., it was recently removed from Paramount+, but it will be arriving on Netflix on April 15, 2025, bringing the whole series together for those with Netflix subscriptions. The usual problems around licensing and rights ownership have meant that those waiting patiently for the season to be added to Netflix have had quite a long wait, but as always, good things come eventually.
Although the series originally aired on CBS, and has had various seasons spread across other streamers, the transition to Netflix has been a long and laborious process. The first five seasons of Young Sheldon were originally added to Netflix in November 2023, which saw it become one of the most watched shows on the streamer for months on end. Season 6 was added in February 2024, just ahead of Season 7 being aired on CBS, and it has now taken over a year for it to finally join the rest of the series, and the mother show, on the platform for subscribers to revisit anytime they like.
‘Young Sheldon’ Fans Looking for a New Family Show Should Binge This 9-Season Sitcom
For nine sidesplitting seasons, the kooky Heck clan kept audiences endlessly entertained in the underrated sitcom gem ‘The Middle.’
From its debut, Young Sheldon was a hit spinoff from The Big Bang Theory, delivering a glimpse of young Sheldon Cooper’s upbringing in East Texas. The prequel has since become another phenomenon and led to a spinoff of its own with Georgie and Mandy’s First Marriage, which is currently heading into its second season. No doubt fans will be able to ad this series to their Netflix binge list, but not for a little while yet.

When The Big Bang Theory came to a satisfying conclusion, there was a sense that the story was not over for Sheldon Cooper and his friends. That proved to be true with the arrival of Young Sheldon, and then Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage. But could the franchise expand even further? The answer is yes, and the title of the next addition to the story has been revealed today.
Stuart Fails to Save the Universe will follow Kevin Sussman’s Stuart Bloom, the owner of the local comic book store frequented by Sheldon and Leonard in the original series. Although there has been little revealed about the plot of the new spinoff, we know that it will also feature Stuart’s girlfriend, Denise (Lauren Lapkus), geologist Bert (Brian Posehn) and Barry Kripke (John Ross Bowie). Officially, the new spinoff has not been given the greenlight yet, but with this much detail already known, it seems very unlikely that it would simply be dropped considering the huge popularity of both the original series and its two spinoffs.
Series creator Chuck Lorre has previously hinted that, alongside these other shows, there is always a chance that The Big Bang Theory could get a direct sequel, especially following Jim Parson’s return to the franchise as Sheldon in the finale episode of Young Sheldon. For now, though, that is just a vague hope of many fans, but one that could certainly become a reality somewhere down the line.
