CBS Reveals Fall 2017 Schedule, First Look at 'Young Sheldon'

CBS is giving fans a full hour of Sheldon Cooper in the 2017-2018 season, with new prequel "Young Sheldon" directly following "The Big Bang Theory" Season 11.

The sitcom following 9-year-old Sheldon (Iain Armitage of "Big Little Lies") will have a special preview on Monday, Sept. 25, then will air Thursday nights, behind TBBT, starting Nov. 2. CBS shared two photos to promote the new series as it announced the fall lineup.

By the way, at CBS Upfronts, CEO Les Moonves told reporters he hopes "The Big Bang Theory" will go beyond the two more seasons he ordered.

CBS's fall schedule includes a time change for "Criminal Minds" and the note that "Elementary," "Code Black," "Man with a Plan," and "Amazing Race" are being held for midseason.
