What does the ending of the movie Young Sheldon explain?

The Young Sheldon finale ends Sheldon’s childhood in Texas, but it also includes new revelations about the future of The Big Bang Theory franchise. After seven years, Sheldon and the Coopers’ collective story wraps up with an emotional last hour. On the heels of George’s death in Young Sheldon season 7, episode 12, “A New Home and a Traditional Texas Torture,” his family is left to deal with the aftermath of the unexpected loss during the first half of the send-off. Young Sheldon’s finale half hour, on the other hand, is devoted to tying as many loose narratives as possible.

When The Big Bang Theory ended in 2019, it was also still very popular, but it ended because Jim Parsons already wanted to leave. Things are different for Young Sheldon, however, since the main cast has been vocal about wanting to continue doing the spin-off, but the established canon forces it to wrap up. It came a long way from being primarily known as a spinoff to becoming TV’s number 1 comedy. As such, there is pressure to deliver a satisfying Young Sheldon swan song. Since it also ends in a significantly shorter year, the back-to-back episodes are packed with storylines.
