Young Sheldon

From the NYT bestselling author of the Big Bang Theory oral history comes an in-depth and thoroughly reported exploration of BBT spinoff Young Sheldon, with big revelations about the show, behind-the-scenes stories from the cast and crew, and all the heart that makes the show itself such a beloved fan-favorite.

Starting as a spinoff of the immensely popular Big Bang Theory, the spinoff show Young Sheldon has taken on a life of its own. Its legions of fans were deeply invested in the storylines of their favorite characters from Big Bang, as well as new characters played by breakout television stars. In YOUNG SHELDON, bestselling author and journalist Jessica Radloff will dive into everything that makes the show great, from the way the cast and crew became a family to the deep subjects the show explored, alongside all of the canon-rewriting controversies and cancellation heartbreak.

Jessica will explore a mix of memorable episodes (examples include the pilot, which Jon Favreau directed; Missy and George’s dress-up visit to Red Lobster; Georgie telling his parents he was going to be a dad at 17; the tornado episode; George’s death; the finale, and Jim Parsons and Mayim Bialik’s return) and tell-alls on casting, behind-the-scenes angst, potentially problematic storylines and rewriting Big Bang cannon, the rise to fame and the involvement of Iain, Raegan and Montana’s parents, the chaos and hurt following the end of the show and the start of the Georgie & Mandy spinoff, and more.
