Jim Parsons and Mayim Bialik to appear on Young Sheldon; All we know so far
The episode will air on Thursday, May 16, on CBS and Paramount+, but the details of how they fit into the story are a secret. This will mark the first time their characters reunite since The Big Bang Theory finale in May 2019.
CBS announced Bialik and Parsons' onscreen reunion just a day after confirming the franchise's continuation with a spinoff centered around Emily Osment and Montana Jordan's characters, Mandy and Georgie, in Young Sheldon. The news came after many fans raised curiosity about what happened to their relationship. 
Young Sheldon is a prequel to its original The Big Bang Theory and follows Sheldon's life when he was younger. In The Big Bang Theory, Parsons played Sheldon as an adult, while Ian Armitage portrayed him in Young Sheldon.
Sheldon is a genius in math and science, which can be tricky in a place where church and football are the main focus. While Sheldon navigates the world with his extraordinary talents, his ordinary family tries to understand him.
