CBS have released the trailer for their highly-anticipated series, Young Sheldon.
In the trailer we get a look at Iain Armitage as the younger version of Sheldon Cooper, the character Emmy Award-winning actor Jim Parsons made famous in the long-running series The Big Bang Theory.
The series is narrated by Parsons as the adult Sheldon, and takes on some of the stories about his childhood that he’s told over the years of the original show. Laurie Metcalfe plays Sheldon’s mom in The Big Bang Theory, and her real-life daughter Zoe Perry plays the younger version of the character. The vocal similarity is uncanny.
Young Sheldon also stars Raegan Revord and Montana Jordan. Chuck Lorre, Steven Molaro, Jim Parsons and Todd Spiewak will serve as executive producers of the series, from Chuck Lorre Productions, Inc. in association with Warner Bros. Television.
