A new trailer for Young Sheldon season 7, episode 9 has revealed the return of a significant character to the series. As Sheldon's time in Medford approaches its conclusion, the Cooper family's story is also reaching its natural end. While Georgie and Mandy will continue their journey in a spinoff show, the rest of the family will not be part of their future adventures. To tie up loose ends, the writers are bringing back familiar faces from Sheldon's past who have had a significant impact on his life.
The official trailer for Young Sheldon season 7, episode 9, titled 'A Fancy Article and a Scholarship for a Baby,' confirms the return of Wallace Shawn's character, Dr. Sturgis. In this episode, Sheldon contemplates his options after graduation, with Dr. Sturgis likely playing a role in his decision-making process.
Despite Dr. Sturgis' importance in shaping Sheldon's academic future, he was notably absent from The Big Bang Theory series. This has left viewers curious about why Sheldon never mentioned him when discussing his childhood in Texas. Young Sheldon now has the opportunity to address this narrative gap and shed light on the character's impact on Sheldon's life.
While it remains unclear how prominent Dr. Sturgis will be in the remaining episodes of Young Sheldon, behind-the-scenes images hint at his involvement beyond episode 9. However, it is likely that his storyline will conclude with the prequel series, as he may not feature in Georgie and Mandy's spinoff.
Young Sheldon, a spinoff of The Big Bang Theory, chronicles Sheldon Cooper's childhood in Texas as he navigates the world of science and academia. The show also delves into the lives of his family members, providing a comprehensive look at the environment that shaped Sheldon's formative years.
You can catch new episodes of Young Sheldon season 7 every Thursday at 8pm ET on CBS.
