CBS’ family comedy is once again on hiatus, meaning there will be an extended gap before Young Sheldon season 6, episode 16 releases. The Big Bang Theory‘s prequel is on its final stretch for season 6, and a lot of ongoing narratives are starting to crescendo. Amid all the new chaos in the Cooper household, Young Sheldon enters another break, and this hiatus will be a bit longer than the last one.
Available To Stream On Netflix
As The Big Bang Theory‘s spinoff slowly approaches the much-anticipated season 6 finale, there are already ongoing talks about whether Young Sheldon 7 should end the show, as confirmed by executive producer Steve Holland. Thanks to established canon and where the prequel is currently set in Sheldon’s timeline, Young Sheldon is certainly close to its predetermined end. Regardless of what CBS ultimately decides, there are various ongoing plot lines that Young Sheldon needs to address first. For the third time this year, however, Young Sheldon is on hiatus.
Young Sheldon Season 6, Episode 16 Releases On March 30, 2023
Since it returned from its mandatory winter break, Young Sheldon has undergone several programming interruptions. After “Teen Angst and a Smart-Boy Walk of Shame,” the show is on a two-week hiatus, which means that Young Sheldon season 6, episode 16 will not be released on the air until March 30, 2023. That means a two-week wait to discover what happens next to Missy after she ran away from home.
Why Is Young Sheldon Season 6 On Hiatus Again?
The sheer number of breaks Young Sheldon season 6 has taken just in 2023 alone is likely to cause frustration. Not only does it keep viewers waiting for what comes next for the Coopers, but it also disrupts the show’s storytelling flow. This is particularly disruptive considering how hectic Young Sheldon season 6 has been. At the very least, however, there is a concrete reason why The Big Bang Theory‘s spinoff is once again on a break. CBS is airing the NCAA March Madness on March 16 and March 23, with the event taking over the family comedy’s primetime slot.
What To Expect From Young Sheldon Season 6, Episode 16
Young Sheldon season 6, episode 16, “A Stolen Truck and Going on the Lam,” will directly deal with what comes next following Missy’s decision to run away. Sheldon will likely be the first person to discover she is missing, sending the whole Cooper family into an overnight search. Ignoring Missy has been the biggest mistake in Young Sheldon, but the character looks set to finally get her due in the upcoming outing. With the family’s newest emergency, George and Mary will also have no choice but to interact with each other as they look for their daughter. Perhaps, the incident could even be what kick-starts their reconciliation.
Young Sheldon season 6 continues March 30 on CBS.
