Young Sheldon is coming to an end after seven seasons, and with shooting on the series finale wrapping up this week, the cast is already feeling nostalgic.
In exclusive interviews with PEOPLE at PaleyFest 2024 on April 14, the cast reflected on the years they spent together filming the beloved CBS comedy.
“It’s been very bittersweet. It’s not an easy thing to know that something that’s been so wonderful for us is coming to an end,” Zoe Perry admitted. “But I think I can speak for everyone that we’re all just really grateful that we’ve gotten to tell this story, tell it for as long as we have, get to experience the audience reactions and how wonderful they’ve been. I think we’re just so appreciative. Truly.”
Montana Jordan described the cast as a true-blue “family,” even when the cameras weren’t rolling as they did activities together outside of work. Raegan Revord, in particular, bugged him “all the time” via text “to do stuff.

“But no, I enjoy it, man. I really enjoy it. I got two older sisters in real life, and on the show I got a little brother and a little sister, so I got the best of both worlds,” Jordan, 21, explained, adding, “We’ve been a family ever since the first day we met — and we’re still a family. Just because the show’s ending don’t mean we’re not going to continue being a family. That’s what kind of bond we got.”
While the cast was understandably tight-lipped about what viewers can expect when Young Sheldon’s series finale airs May 16, star Iain Armitage teased that fans of Young Sheldon — and The Big Bang Theory — will be pleased with how the show ties things up.
“It very much comes full circle, and I think we are trying to do our best to satisfy both fans of our show and Big Bang, and it’s been so much fun to film,” Armitage, 15, said.
Perry, 40, hinted there would be “fun little” nods to previous episodes or Easter eggs loyal viewers will notice throughout the episode.

“I think what you could always expect from the show is obviously the levity, the humor, but also a lot of heart,” she hinted. “So I think people will be really moved by the ending of this. It’s a big chapter closed.”
Once shooting wraps, Young Sheldon’s cast and crew will celebrate the work with a wrap party, according to Emily Osment. Several of the actors also plan on taking home small mementos from the set as reminders of their time on the show.
Revord, 16, plans on taking a tapestry behind her character Missy Cooper’s bed. She’d also love to take home some of the miniature spoons, which she collects.
“We went to London and I found one at a flea mark and I was like, ‘The obsession has started, and Zoe … has a holder of miniature spoons,” she continued. “That’s also mine. I’m running with it. I love them.”

Lance Barber, meanwhile, has his eye on an acrylic photo cube in George (Barber) and Mary’s (Perry) bedroom. “Back in when I was a kid, these were popular,” he said, adding, ”I’d love to take that home with me as a memorabilia for my time with Young Sheldon.
Annie Potts’ souvenirs, meanwhile, aren’t material objects, but they’re no less poignant.
“It’s just incredible that I was walking around the set the other day thinking, oh, that, and then I thought, no, it’s the memories. It’s not an object,” Potts, 71, admitted. “It’s the feelings that are treasures.”
