According to Hollywood Reporter, the CBS network is developing a spinoff about the life of young Sheldon Cooper played by Emmy winner Jim Parsons.

The new show, which also comes from the show’s co-creators Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady, would reportedly focus on a teenage version of the genius theoretical physicist.

An insider reports that the prequel would be single camera unlike in BBT which has a multi-camera format.

Back in August, president of CBS Entertainment Glenn Geller told reporters, “We are very confident that everyone involved wants more Big Bang past year 10 and I know Warner Bros. will make those deals.”

“We’ll put it on for as long as everyone wants Big Bang on the air. I hope it lasts forever,” he added.

The American television sitcom, which follows the lives of four socially awkward scientists, airs every Thursday on CBS.
