The Young Sheldon series finale trailer is finally here, and it reveals the aftermath of George’s death. Admittedly, Young Sheldon isn’t the best when preserving The Big Bang Theory continuity. Over the year, it created countless plot inconsistencies, while also rewriting history. That was what happened when George’s cheating scandal was retconned earlier in the show’s final year, which was part of the efforts to improve the character’s image. Unfortunately, the writers couldn’t write themselves out of the Cooper patriarch’s death without totally breaking the canon.
On the heels of George’s devastating death, CBS has released the official trailer for the Young Sheldon series finale. Watch the clip from Montana Jordan‘s Instagram account below:
The clip is a mix of scenes from the special one-hour Young Sheldon finale, and as expected, the majority of the scenes revolve around the Coopers struggling on the heels of George’s death. That includes Mary breaking down during her husband’s funeral service. The clip also includes a look at Jim Parsons and Mayim Bialik’s cameos as adult Sheldon and Missy.
How The Coopers Move Forward After George Dies
Per The Big Bang Theory, George’s Death Was A Defining Moment In Sheldon’s Life.
Aside from George, all members of the extended Coopers clan appeared in The Big Bang Theory. But while Sheldon and Mary talked about the late family man, they never really discussed the manner of his death or the aftermath of it. Meanwhile, Missy and Meemaw never even mentioned it. Losing George will have massive ramifications for Sheldon and the rest of the Coopers, however, as revealed by adult Georgie when he made his The Big Bang Theory debut ahead of Sheldon and Amy’s wedding, they all dealt with it differently, but everyone had a difficult time.
Per Georgie, Mary was too grief-stricken to function. Missy, on the other hand, continued to act out despite her Young Sheldon season 6 finale promise to George about finally behaving following a particularly rebellious year. No word on how Meemaw coped, but it’s safe to say that she also struggled. While she and George had their differences, it’s clear from the last few years that they finally found a good dynamic. It was also extra difficult for her because she had to watch Mary grapple with the loss, as seen in the Young Sheldon finale trailer.
Meanwhile, Sheldon pushed forward with his move to Pasadena to start his post-grad studies at Caltech. This kept him occupied, but since he was far from the family, Georgie didn’t know how his younger brother processed grief — something that may be revealed in the Young Sheldon finale.

Finally, Georgie took over taking care of the family, although it’s curious how that’s going to happen, considering that none of the Coopers will be series regulars in Georgie and Mandy’s First Marriage.
