HBO Max has acquired streaming rights for Young Sheldon – the show that was created as a spinoff on the life of The Big Bang Theory‘s Sheldon Cooper.
Starring Iain Armitage as the young Sheldon Cooper, the series revolves around his experiences and family life as a kid. The show kind of serves as a prequel to his life in The Big Bang Theory.
The show currently airs on CBS every Thursday.

Speaking about the streaming acquisition of the show Molaro and Lorre stated:
We are so pleased that Young Sheldon will once again be reunited with his future self on HBO Max, and we are excited for fans, new and old, to be able to binge both The Big Bang Theory and Young Sheldon for the first time.
