The coaches are beginning to pull into the station, one at a time. The Big Bang Theory prequel series and fan-favorite comedy series, Young Sheldon is coming to an end. With less than five episodes left, the series is beginning to wrap up things as 14-year-old Sheldon Cooper (Iain Armitage) begins to pack his bags as he heads to CalTech to further his education. Ahead of the show’s final episodes, a newly released set image from season 7 reveal that series regulars, Lance Barber and Zoe Perry have filmed their final scene as the show’s foremost couple, George and Mary Cooper.
Posting on his official Instagram account, Young Sheldon director Alex Reid, posted an image featuring Barber and Perry, as the trio posed for a photo after filming their final scenes as George and Mary, respectively. The image is taken in George and Mary’s bedroom and sees George donning his typical work clothes alongside Mary. Despite revealing its the pair’s last scene as a couple, Reid does not reveal when the scene will air while also refraininf from adding any context to the image. Reid’s image is accompanied by a caption which reads: “Me with @lanceb.actor and Zoe Perry after shooting their last scene with just the two of them. These two always clowned around with each other and scenes with them were a delight. But this day was full of emotion as we all started working our way through the “lasts”: Last parents bedroom scene, last Meemaw scene, last dinner table scene, last backyard scene, last Sheldon/Missy scene, last Georgie/Mandy scene, etc”
As highlighted in director Reid’s caption, the final season of Young Sheldon has proven to be an emotional one long before the series finale’s arrival. The cast’s emotional response to Georgie (Montana Jordan) and Mandy’s (Emily Osment) wedding, sought to drive home that point. However, as the show ends, it does get less emotional as audiences might be in need of tissues when the show goes through with a foreshadowed death. According to established Big Bang Theory lore, Sheldon loses his father aged 14, just before leaving for CalTech. It is a scene that hasn’t occured yet, however, it is certainly going to be an emotional one.
