As we previously reported, the Big Bang Theory spinoff Young Sheldon (previously titled Sheldon) is the much anticipated prequel to CBS’s hit — and producers found its young Sheldon in Big Little Lies’ Iain Armitage! Check him out here:

Created by Big Bang Theory’s own Chuck Lorre and Steven Molaro, Young Sheldon is about 9-year old Sheldon Cooper living with his family in East Texas and going to high school, at the age of 9! Would you expect anything else from Sheldon, really?

Now this is a show we’re going to get into — sort of a modern day Doogie Howser. But in high school! The show will also star Zoe Perry, Lance Barber, Raegan Revord and Montana Jordan.

Chuck, Steven… thank you…
