Young Sheldon's 100th episode guest star has finally been revealed. The Big Bang Theory spin-off's current year is on its final stretch. But before it officially wraps up, the sitcom is also set to celebrate an important milestone, reaching 100 episodes after more than five years, which is actually a rare feat nowadays for network shows. So, naturally, fans are expecting some big surprises from the CBS sitcom.
Premiering in 2017, Young Sheldon aired back-to-back in its first two years with its parent series. But after The Big Bang Theory ended in 2019, the spin-off has been standing on its own. While it still hasn't reached the level of popularity that the original show enjoyed, it is CBS' premier comedy, drawing millions of viewers every week. At this point in its storytelling, it has a lot of ongoing narratives which are all waiting for their culmination. It's currently on hiatus due to NCAA's March Madness, but it's proving to be worth the wait as its next offering will mark the 100th episode milestone for the project.
