Young Sheldon Star Confirms George Dies In The Big Bang Theory Prequel
Young Sheldon star Raegan Revord confirms that George (Lance Barber) will eventually meet his end on The Big Bang Theory prequel. In an effort for CBS to capitalize on the popularity of the geek-centric sitcom, the network launched its first and only spin-off. Young Sheldon, as the title implies, revolves around the life of Sheldon Cooper while he was still living in Texas with his family. Given that, it only makes sense that the rest of the Cooper family plays a major role in the sitcom.
Unlike all of his other family members, Sheldon's dad never appeared on The Big Bang Theory, because he was long dead before the show even began. Despite that, fans learned a lot about him, thanks to the socially-inept genius' stories. Up until this point, there's confusion as to why Sheldon described his dad so harshly in the original show when he's a fairly decent dad on Young Sheldon. Nevertheless, Sheldon's stories pretty much gave his dad a death sentence in the offshoot, revealing that when he was 13, he accidentally walked in on him having sex with another woman. The next year, George died without ever discussing the awkward incident with his son.
