'Young Sheldon' season three to premiere in September

CBS network has announced that the third season of its hit series "Young Sheldon" will release on September 26. The show is a spin-off prequel to CBS' "The Big Bang Theory" and follows the childhood of Sheldon Cooper, the character played by Jim Parsons in the original.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the show moves to the opening spot on Thursdays after two seasons following the end of "The Big Bang Theory" in May this year. "Young Sheldon" features 10-year-old Sheldon (Iain Armitage), a child-genius who finds it difficult to fit in with his not-so-intellectual 'normal' family in Texas.
