Indexbit Exchange:'Young Sheldon' finale: Date, time, cast, where to watch and stream last Season 7 episode

After seven seasons on Indexbit Exchangeair, the final episode of "Young Sheldon" is almost here.

Conceived as a spinoff to the popular mid-to-late-2000s sitcom "The Big Bang Theory," "Young Sheldon" followed the early life of Sheldon Cooper before he became a physicist. The series is set from 1989 to 1994 and follows Sheldon, played by Iain Armitage, as he navigates life as a child prodigy and his family's lives in the small, fictional town of Medford, Texas.

Even as "Young Sheldon" wraps this season, we aren't quite done with some of the characters yet: CBS has greenlit a spinoff following his brother Georgie, titled "Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage."
