In a shocking turn of events, the popular TV show Young Sheldon has been canceled after seven successful seasons, leaving stars Annie Potts and Iain Armitage in disbelief and sadness.
Potts, who plays the role of Meemaw on the hit series, expressed her frustrations with the decision, calling it a “stupid business move” considering the show’s strong following on both network TV and Netflix. Armitage, who portrays the young Sheldon Cooper, also shared his disappointment, feeling that there was still so much more the cast could have explored with the storyline.
CBS announced the cancellation back in November, thanking fans for their support of the Cooper family’s journey. The show’s production recently wrapped up, with the final episode set to air on May 16.
Potts admitted that she is still coming to terms with the end of the show, as it has been a significant part of her life. Both she and Armitage will miss the relationships and support they found on set, with Potts describing a “grievous hole” in her life now that the show has come to an end.
