Young Sheldon Star Opens Up About Cast’s Tearfully Funny Tradition on Final Season Set
The show’s cast had a tough time spending last days together on set.
After seven years of successful TV run, The Big Bang Theory ’s prequel Young Sheldon left both its viewers and actors in tears when the show’s last episodes aired back in May.
Fans were completely destroyed by the bittersweet ending with Sheldon sent off to college and the rest of the family staying in Texas and continuing to cope with George Sr.'s death. However, Young Sheldon’s last season seemingly hit its lead cast harder, and it didn’t have that much to do with the storyline’s disheartening plot twists.
Upon the finale’s release earlier this year, Sheldon’s actor Iain Armitage shared some details about all the hardships that the cast had while filming Young Sheldon’s last season and last episodes in particular.
According to the actor, throughout the remaining three months of shooting his co-stars had been making heartbreaking observations, stating that a certain scene would be the last one that saw the cast doing a specific thing together.
Armitage also revealed that such a tradition went to a whole new level of randomness since every so often it would include things that the cast had never even done before.
The actor then explained, sharing a hilarious example and stating that “Miss Emily Osment held a party at her house on Sunday, which was wonderful. And somebody’s like, ‘This is the last time we’re gonna be hanging out at Emily Osment’s house on a Sunday’”.
Given that Young Sheldon’s cast spent several years unseparated on the series' set, nobody would really be surprised to learn that they had eventually got attached to each other that much.
However, things aren’t that bad anyway since Young Sheldon’s spinoff Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage is set to reunite most of the prequel’s actors pretty soon.
There’s so far no saying about whether Iain Armitage will eventually pop up in his older brother’s story or not, but we still have our fingers crossed for a lovely and very much anticipated family reunion.
