Do you know what Sheldon’s son’s name is? Thanks to “Young Sheldon”, you can discover the first name he gave to his offspring and it’s quite moving…
Sheldon is undoubtedly one of the most appreciated characters by fans of The Big Bang Theory for his strange personality, his emotional growth throughout the 12 seasons that the sitcom lasted and especially for the comedic talent of his interpreter, the very rightly rewarded Jim Parsons. And you may not know it, but one of his most beautiful moments occurs in the prequel series Young Sheldon, available on Netflix: we discover what Sheldon’s son is called…
As we eventually learn from the show’s adult narrator, he and his wife Amy (Mayim Bialik) named their son… Leonard! And the protagonist explains why: this is, of course, a tribute to the Star Trek hero, Leonard Nimoy (Mr. Spock), of whom Sheldon is the biggest fan, but also a tribute to his best friend, Leonard Hofstadter ( Johnny Galecki).
The revelation was made during the first episode of the fourth season of Young Sheldon which features the young Iain Armitage (Big Little Lies) in the shoes of the young Sheldon in question since 2017. The detail warms the heart when we think that Sheldon is now more prey to recognizing his feelings. In this case, he confirms his close friendship with his former roommate Leonard.
While five of the six seasons of Young Sheldon can be found on Netflix, fans are still waiting for season 7 which will finally land on NBC in February 2024 and which will unfortunately be the last of the series.
