CBS has officially greenlit Young Sheldon, a spin-off of the megahit sitcom The Big Bang Theory about breakout character Sheldon Cooper's (Jim Parsons) childhood, for the 2017-18 season, the network announced Monday.

CBS喜大普奔宣布熱門情景喜劇《生活大爆炸》衍生劇《Young Sheldon》定檔2017-2018年,故事講述Sheldon Cooper小時候的成長經歷。

Iron Man director Jon Favreau will executive-produce and direct the first episode. Jim Parsons will narrate, Wonder Years-style, as grown-up Sheldon. Unlike The Big Bang Theory, Young Sheldon will be a single-camera sitcom without a laugh track.

鋼鐵俠導演Jon Favreau將會作為本劇執行制片人并導演第一集。Jim Parsons將會作為本劇的旁白,用《純真年代》的風格講述Sheldon的成長故事。和《生活大爆炸》不一樣的是,《Young Sheldon》將會是單鏡頭喜劇,也就是說不會有《生活大爆炸》的罐頭笑聲。

As previously reported, 9-year-old Iain Armitage will play the boy genius, and Zoe Perry will play his mother Mary. Perry is the real-life daughter of Laurie Metcalf, who plays Mary on The Big Bang Theory.

之前有報道,9歲的Iain Armitage將會扮演天才少年Sheldon,而Zoe Perry將會扮演Sheldon媽媽Mary。Perry是《生活大爆炸》中Mary扮演者Laurie Metcalf現實生活中的女兒。
