Young Sheldon Viewers Speculate Season 7 Will Not Feature a Major Character Death
Young Sheldon fans brace themselves for an emotional rollercoaster in Season 7, as they speculate whether a major death will remain unseen The anticipation of a tearful farewell lingers, leaving viewers questioning the fate of this pivotal character
Young Sheldon's upcoming seventh season is expected to be an emotional farewell for many fans. However, there is speculation that a significant character death may not be depicted at all. As the show prepares to wrap up, little information has been released about the upcoming season, aside from a few initial images, and it is scheduled to begin airing in February.
Sheldon and Mary are currently in Germany, while the rest of the Coopers are dealing with a life-altering tornado. In Young Sheldon Season 7, a significant death is expected to occur, although some fans are unsure if it will be shown.
Young Sheldon fans don’t think this death will be shown in Season 7
According to Reddit theories, the death of George Cooper Sr. – a death that many are expecting to happen – will not be shown on screen in Young Sheldon Season 7.

The Big Bang Theory storyline reveals that Sheldon's father passed away when he was 14, the same age he is in the Young Sheldon timeline.
Connecting the dots, it appears that the death of George Cooper Sr. will have to be addressed in Season 7 before the show concludes. However, there is speculation among fans that his death may not be explicitly depicted in Young Sheldon itself.
"I believe it will be mentioned in a voiceover by Sheldon at the end of the series. I don't think we will see his actual death," one fan speculated on Reddit. "I think it will end similar to the Wonder Years, with Sheldon mentioning it in the last episode," another fan added.
Another fan mentioned, "During this upcoming season, yes, Sheldon will be in Germany," which suggests that George's death may not be shown on screen. Despite this, some fans are skeptical that this significant family change won't be exploited for Young Sheldon to make a final awards season sweep.
“One Redditor argued that they will use the episode as an Emmy opportunity and that the crying and sad music would indicate that they are giving strong performances," one commenter said. "Another fan mused that they believe the show will indeed show the heart attack, since it was set up for a reason."
"I completely agree," a third user added. "I think it will be shown, but it's a difficult decision on when to do so. Do they end the show with a sad death, or have him die earlier and then explore the other characters' trauma over a season? It's a tough call for the writers."
Young Sheldon is set to end with Season 7, which you can read more about here.
Editor's P/S
As a Gen Z netizen, I am eagerly anticipating the upcoming seventh season of Young Sheldon. The show has been a beloved part of my childhood and adolescence, and I am excited to see how the writers will wrap up the series. While I am prepared for an emotional rollercoaster, I am also intrigued by the speculation that a major character death may not be depicted on screen.
The death of George Cooper Sr. is a significant event in Sheldon's life, and it would be understandable if the writers chose to show it explicitly. However, I also appreciate the idea of it being mentioned in a voiceover or in a similar subtle way. This would allow the show to acknowledge the impact of George's death without dwelling on it too much, and it would also leave room for viewers to interpret the event in their own way.
