'Young Sheldon' cast says wrapping up the series is 'not an easy thing'

Speaking about the series wrapping up, Zoe Perry, who plays Mary Cooper on the show, said, "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."

"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," she added.

"I think we're just so appreciative. Truly," she shared.

Montana Jordan, who portrays Georgie Cooper, described the cast as a tight-knit “family,” as he noted that their camaraderie and bond formed throughout their time working together reflected both on and off-screen.

He said that Raegon Revord, who plays Missy Cooper in the series, kept texting him "all the time" 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,” the 21-year-old said.

“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," Jordan added.

Iain Armitage says 'Young Sheldon' 'very much comes full circle'

Known for his portrayal of the young Sheldon Cooper, Iain Armitage teased fans about what to expect from the series finale set to air on May 16.

“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 said of the series which is a spinoff of 'The Big Bang Theory'.

Hinting at some surprises for loyal viewers, Perry said, "I think what you could always expect from the show is obviously the levity, the humor, but also a lot of heart."

"So I think people will be really moved by the ending of this. It's a big chapter closed.”
