"Young Sheldon" is back.
The hit CBS sitcom and "Big Bang Theory" spin-off returns for its fifth season on Thursday, Oct. 7 with an episode called "One Bad Night and Choas of Selfish Desires."
The comedy series famously follows the childhood days of Sheldon Cooper (Iain Armitage), the socially awkward and blunt but nevertheless brilliant main character in "Big Bang." Along for the ride are his smalltown parents (Zoe Perry and Lance Barber), siblings (Montana Jordan and Raegan Revord) and grandmother (Annie Potts).
Ahead of the season five premiere, here's a look at everything you need to know:
