The May 16 episode of Young Sheldon marked the end of The Big Bang Theory spinoff, with young Sheldon Cooper (Iain Armitage) heading off to California to further his studies. Here, executive producer Steve Holland explains why Sheldon first needed to dip his body in baptismal water before making the trek, and why it was so important that his adult self write a memoir about his childhood in Texas.
DEADLINE What was the very last scene you shot before Young Sheldon wrapped for good?
STEVE HOLLAND It was the family dinner scene where Mary [Zoe Perry] wants them to get baptized. George’s chair is there with a place setting, but he’s obviously passed away at that point. So we wanted to end in a scene that had as many of the characters in it as possible. And those dinner scenes have been such a staple of the show.
DEADLINE What was that last day like?
HOLLAND It was really emotional. I mean, honestly, the whole last month was. It was incredibly emotional writing the funeral episode and the finale and realizing how that was the last Young Sheldon script we were ever going to write. And then, when we got into production on those last three episodes … everyone knew the show was coming to an end and they were grieving that in some way, while grieving the death of the character. So there was a lot of real life emotions being mixed in with character emotions. Tears were readily available to everybody, but it literally had been weeks of saying goodbye.
