THE fourth season of the half-hour comedy series Young Sheldon returns to Warner TV same day as the US today at 8.35pm.
New episodes premiere every Friday at the same time. In this season, after graduating high school, Sheldon has a breakdown when he realises he may not be ready for college.
Young Sheldon stars Iain Armitage, Zoe Perry, Lance Barber, Montana Jordan, Raegan Revord and Matt Hobby, with Annie Potts and Jim Parsons as the voice of adult Sheldon.
For young Sheldon Cooper (Armitage), it isn’t easy growing up in East Texas.
Being a once-in-a-generation mind capable of advanced mathematics and science isn’t always helpful in a land where church and football are king.
And while the vulnerable, gifted and somewhat naive Sheldon deals with the world, his very normal family must find a way to deal with him.
His father, George (Barber), is struggling to find his way as a high school football coach and as father to a boy he doesn’t understand.
Sheldon’s mother, Mary (Perry), fiercely protects and nurtures her son in a town where he just doesn’t fit in.
Sheldon’s older brother, Georgie (Jordan), does the best he can in high school, but it’s tough to be cool when you’re in the same classes with your odd younger brother.
Sheldon’s twin sister, Missy (Revord), sometimes resents all the attention Sheldon gets, but also remains the one person who can reliably tell Sheldon the truth.
Finally, there’s Sheldon’s beloved Meemaw (Potts), his foul-mouthed, hard-drinking typical Texas grandmother who is very supportive of her quirky grandson and his unique gifts.
