HBO Max has snapped up the rights to Young Sheldon in the latest big streaming deal.
The nascent digital platform, which launched this week, struck a deal with sister company Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution for all three seasons to The Big Bang Theory spin-off.
This brings all of the Bbt universe under one streaming roof after HBO Max closed a major deal last year to pick up all 279 episodes of the original CBS sitcom.
The service didn’t reveal when the show, which stars Iain Armitage as a young Sheldon Cooper, would air and wouldn’t disclose financial details of the deal. However, it is likely to be much less than it paid for its parent show, a deal thought to be north of $600M.
Single camera comedy Young Sheldon, which returns to CBS on Thursday nights in the fall, is the number one comedy on network television with total viewers.
