Annie Potts and Iain Armitage Disappointed by Sudden Cancellation of 'Young Sheldon' - Final Season Airs May 16 on CBS

Annie Potts, the beloved actress known for her role as Connie 'MeeMaw' Tucker on CBS's hit show 'Young Sheldon,' expressed her disappointment over the cancellation of the series. In an interview with Variety, Potts described CBS's decision to end 'Young Sheldon,' which is still a strong ratings performer for the network, as a 'stupid business move.'

The seventh and final season of 'Young Sheldon' wrapped production last week. The series follows the life of young Sheldon Cooper (Iain Armitage), a boy genius navigating late 80s and early 90s Texas, as he grows up with the help of his loving family. Potts has been through several series finales throughout her career, including 'Designing Women,' 'A Year to Live,' and 'GCB.' However, she was taken aback by the sudden cancellation of 'Young Sheldon.'

Iain Armitage also shared his thoughts on the matter. He feels fortunate for the seven wonderful years he spent on the show but is excited to come back out to Los Angeles in June for new opportunities.

Despite CBS's decision, fans can still look forward to a proper send-off for 'Young Sheldon.' The final season will air May 16 at 8 p.m. ET on CBS.
