YOUNG Sheldon, the prequel series to The Big Bang Theory, has been canceled after seven seasons.
The CBS show's last season will begin on February 15 and the finale is scheduled for May 16.
The first episode of Young Sheldon aired in September 2017, and it has since wracked up more than one hundred episodes.
Iain Armitage stars in the sitcom next to the voice of the original Sheldon Jim Parsons, 50, and Disney star Emily Osment, 31.
Amy Reisenbach, president of CBS Entertainment, made a statement: “As a prequel to one of the biggest comedies, Young Sheldon proved lightning can strike twice.
“It set itself apart with a remarkable cast that felt like a family from the first moment we saw them on screen and brought characters to life with unique heartfelt stories that drew audiences in from the start."

She also thanked the executive producers Chuck Lorre, Steve Molaro, and Steve Holland as well as the writing and producing teams.
Amy said the show will get a "proper send-off" with some of the "best episodes" being in the last season.
MORE TO COME
The three executive producers also released a statement about the show's end: "Being able to tell the origin of Sheldon Cooper and expanding the story to include the entire Cooper family has been a wonderful experience.
"We are grateful to our fans for embracing this chapter of the Coopers these past six seasons, and on behalf of the entire Young Sheldon family, we’re excited to share this final season with you.”
