2024 has been a rollercoaster ride for TV fans, with shows ending left and right. One recent casualty is the beloved Young Sheldon, which just wrapped up its seventh and final season on CBS. Rumors had been swirling about its end since Season 7, and when it was finally confirmed, fans were hit right in the feels. Naturally, the cast and crew had their own feelings about the farewell, including the show's lead, Iain Armitage, who's now spilling the beans on the most intriguing aspect of the cancellation.
Picture this: Iain Armitage, barely eight years old, stepping into Sheldon Cooper's shoes. Fast forward to now, he's 15, reminiscing about his first day on set. It's a heartwarming reminder of how much time has flown by. Chatting with the LA Times, Armitage reflects on his seven-year stint, the longest role of his career. But here's the kicker: now that Young Sheldon's over, he's pondering his next acting gig. How's he going to top this?
You gotta sympathize with actors who've poured their heart and soul into a character for years. Saying goodbye to such a significant chapter in their lives must be tough. Young Sheldon wasn't Armitage's only gig, but it's what he'll likely be remembered for. As a fan, I'll admit, it's gonna feel weird seeing him in different roles, especially now that he's growing up.
But hey, all good things must end, right? Armitage, like many others on set, found it hard to bid farewell. Yet, he acknowledges that it's just part of the job. As much as he adores it, work like this eventually wraps up. Still, he's optimistic about what lies ahead.
Before bidding adieu to Young Sheldon, Armitage paid his respects, making the series finale an emotional journey. And let's not forget the Big Bang reunion that had fans in a frenzy. While it's sad to see the show go, at least it went out with a bang, tying up loose ends and giving us closure.
As for Armitage's future, well, it looks bright. With his talent and experience, he's bound to be a hot commodity in Hollywood. And who knows, maybe we'll see him don those Sheldon shoes again someday. With spinoffs like Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage hitting screens, there's always hope for a Sheldon cameo. For now, though, it's comforting to see Armitage at peace with the show's finale.
