Annie Potts says she was ‘shocked’ when ‘Young Sheldon’ was canceled after seven seasons, saying CBS made a ‘stupid business move’
Annie Potts has built a decades-long career on the TV screen, but even she was shocked when Young Sheldon was canceled after seven seasons.
'I was shocked. I mean, the No. 1 show on network TV, No. 1 on Netflix,” she said. “We’re, I think, all that people watch on TikTok besides a couple of recipes for pasta. It just seemed like such a stupid business move.''Forgive me, but I don’t know. If a show is starting to drag or lag or have a lack of stories or whatever, then you kind of see it coming. We were totally ambushed by this,” she claimed.
Young Sheldon, the prequel spinoff to The Big Bang Theory, premiered in 2017 and wrapped production last week. It stars Iain Armitage as the childhood version of The Big Bang Theory’s Sheldon Cooper, an intellectual genius with an endearing lack of social understanding. Potts plays Cooper’s maternal grandmother in the prequel series.
With the series soon to be in the rearview mirror, Potts looked back at a show that has played a significant role in her career.
