The Big Bang Theory will have a spin off series called Young Sheldon due to come later on this year charting the life of Sheldon Cooper when he lived in Texas before moving to Pasedena meeting Harold, Leonard and Raj.
He will played by unknown child actor Iain Armitage and be 9 years old then with Jim Parsons narrating adult Sheldon which's a nice way of nodding the older show I think.
You will meet his father and brother for the first time and the show will air after the original Monday evenings.

I must say that I'm enjoying this show.
The younger Mary Cooper, Sheldon's Mom, is played by Zoe Perry, the daughter of Laurie Metcalf, who plays adult Sheldon's Mom.

I've not seen this yet because it's not being shown in Britain which may happen in the new year if anything.

It's pretty good, even if it's a little different from BBT.
Oddly, this show had no laugh track, like BBT does.

It's had good ratings across the pond I hear.
Jim Parson's narates adult Sheldon's voice here when he is speaking which I'm glad they've done and not someone else entirely 'cause it gives familiarity to Big Bang Theory fans and tells people who've not seen the original show whom Sheldon turns out to be.
It would be fantastic if they show him meeting Harold, Leonard and Raj once sometime if he was on holiday and not realising when he's an adult he did.

Wonderful. I always wanted to see Sheldon's brother. Hope he shows up to the wedding. I love that they do the voiceover by Jim.

Young Sheldon had its season premier tonight.
At the end, old Sheldon's voice over mentions that he and Amy have a son named Leonard (named after both his friend and Leonard Nimoy). The voice over says that he wanted to give his son the middle name "Nimoy", but Amy wouldn't let him. Then Amy's voice comes on and says that Sheldon should be happy with Leonard (and yes, it was the voice of Mayim Bialik).

Nice to hear other Big Bang Theory actors on the show.
I wonder if older Penny, Raj, or Howard will voiceover a scene too depending on actor availability?

I wonder if they will. Who knows won't surprise me they do a holiday episode where Sheldon goes to another state where the others lived growing up. Obviously not crossing paths with young Sheldon but enough to cut to them in the same lovation (e.g both at a place but walk past each other or something) so they can have Penny etc. Do a voiceover when they are older.

The Cooper family visits New Jersey, where Leonard is from. Then have Johnny Galecki do a voice over.
That would be cool.
