Jim Halterman Annie Potts is no stranger to series finales, having experienced several through the years (“Designing Women,” “Any Day Now” and “GCB,” to name a few). But there’s something different about the end of “Young Sheldon,” the “Big Bang Theory” prequel that concludes on May 16. “I still don’t understand why they canceled it,” she says.
“It just seemed like such a stupid business move.” Potts, who plays saucy Connie “MeeMaw” Tucker on “Young Sheldon,” says she remains puzzled by CBS’s decision to end the series — even though it’s still a strong ratings performer for the network. Nonetheless, “Young Sheldon”did wrap production on its seventh and final season last week. A few days later, Variety talked with Potts, and co-star Iain Armitage (the socially awkward 14-year-old genius Sheldon Cooper), about how they’re feeling about the show’s end.
The duo also shared their reaction to Jim Parsons’ return as the adult Sheldon in the finale episode and previewed this week’s episode, “A Fancy Article and a Scholarship for a Baby.” You wrapped shooting the series last week. How are you both feeling? Annie Potts: It’s been really, really, really emotional. I mean, it’s been half of Ian’s life, and it’s been a 10th of mine, but at 70, that feels significant.
And, you know, it’s a little village that we have, and we’ve all taken care of each other and raised each other up. There will be a grievous hole in my life. There’s no question about it.
It’ll get easier. Grief does, loss does. Iain Armitage: It’s definitely hard to end and getting to work with such incredible people will always make it harder.
