After seven seasons and over 100 episodes, Young Sheldon filmed the final scene of the final episode. It was a bittersweet moment for the cast and crew of the show, which has been home for them for the past several years. When the spinoff of The Big Bang Theory started, the young cast members were far from teenagers and are now well into their teenage years. The day was emotional as they shared that the end had arrived and reflected on their shared time.
Alex Reid, who has directed 36 episodes of the show and is the series finale director, shared an Instagram post of the iconic table where The Cooper household usually had dinner. The post had its share of shenanigans and drama, and Reid commemorated his time on set in the caption below.
“Today was a wrap on the final season of
Young Sheldon
. I can’t express how much my time on this show has meant to me. To watch these actors evolve through the years felt like watching my own family grow and change. Right now I have no words but in the coming days I’ll post some of my photos from the 36 episodes I was fortunate enough to direct. This is from this afternoon, before we shot our last scene. 💔”
Sheldon himself, Iain Armitage, reposted Reid’s photo to his Instagram Stories, reiterating that the show had filmed for the last time, adding, ” What a joy, honor, and privilege.” In a second story, he shared a photo of a Warner Bros lot where the show’s set resides, saying, “End of day. Driving of [sic] the lot for the last day of filming @youngsheldoncbs – I’ve loved it here at Warner Brothers ❤️”
For Raegan Revord (Missy Cooper), emotions were high as she hugged Annie Potts (Meemaw) for the last time in a short video shared on her Instagram stories. She tried to fight back tears with the caption “My emotional state at the moment” accompanying the story.
Melissa Peterman (Brenda Sparks) marked her final day on set by taking a selfie before a stage, captioning it with a heart emoji.
