It’s official: CBS is moving forward with its Big Bang Theory prequel. The network has ordered for the series to start up during the 2017-18 broadcast season for Young Sheldon.

This is the first time that the network and producers Warner Bros. Television have confirmed the project. An episode count has not yet been determined. But in the Fall, we will be happy viewers!

Young Sheldon recently cast its star, making Big Little Lies actor Iain Armitage as the young version of Jim Parsons’ Sheldon Cooper, with Zoe Perry taking on the role of his mother, Mary Cooper, that was originally played by the actress’ mother, Laurie Metcalfe.

The project will revolve around a 9-year-old Sheldon Cooper as he lives with his family in East Texas and goes to high school. The concept was originally described as Malcolm in the Middle with a young Sheldon.
