Young Sheldon’s Iain Armitage Is Down For Surpassing The Big Bang Theory – Looper

If “Young Sheldon” treks ahead, both Iain Armitage and creator/producer Chuck Lorre would be on board. They spoke to ET Online about the show’s longevity, and if it has a shot to surpass “The Big Bang Theory’s” mind-blowing 12-season run. “[If] the audience is still enjoying the show and along with the journey then there’s no question there’s a lot of stories to tell,” said Lorre. As for Armitage, he’s happy either way. “I would love [to do] more,” he said. “I would be cool with whatever. I mean, we’ll see. I don’t think I could tire of these people.” This attitude seems on par with what actor Lance Barber (George Cooper) said to Esquire, about Armitage. “He’s one of those kids that was built to do it. In his genetics is show business,” he said.

Of course, Armitage has no problem with surpassing “The Big Bang Theory” and its 280-episode run, but the real question is whether or not fans will tire of the show first. As time moves forward, some fans have been calling for an end, indicating that “Young Sheldon” may be coming close to its conclusion. However, Deadline reported that the series has been renewed through the 2023–2024 season, making it seem like there is much more comedy to get through. No matter the outcome though, the show’s young star appears to be satisfied. “We have some pretty wonderful cast mates but hey, [seven] seasons is a lot but if we get to eight that would be incredible,” Armitage said.
