Why isn’t Young Sheldon Season 7 Episode 6 on tonight?

Young Sheldon Season 7 Episode 6 isn’t on tonight — but why? Here’s everything you need to know.

Last week it was revealed that new episodes of Young Sheldon Season 7 would be delayed, including the hotly anticipated Episode 6.

It’s a devastating blow for fans, who are waiting for storylines such as George’s death, Georgie and Mandy’s wedding, and Sheldon’s start at Caltech to come to fruition.

Now that we know that we’re working with a delay, why isn’t Young Sheldon Season 7 Episode 6 on tonight? Here’s what we know.

Why isn’t Young Sheldon Season 7 Episode 6 on tonight?

Young Sheldon Season 7 Episode 6 isn’t on tonight because of a delay thanks to “March Madness.” The Episode will now air on April 4, 2024.

Prompting the whopping three-week delay, March Madness is a key part of the NCAA Men’s Division I Basketball Tournament. Playing off 68 teams in single-elimination tournaments, it’s not surprising that basketball is taking up a lot of March.

Episodes look set to double up from this point forward, with Episode 7 airing straight after 6 on the same evening.

The synopsis for the episode reads, “Georgie and Mandy’s wedding plans pit Mary against Mandy’s mom Audrey (Rachel Bay Jones), with baby CeeCee caught in the middle” — leading fans to think that a major feud is on the horizon.

The full release schedule for Young Sheldon Season 7 is currently as follows:

• S7, E1: ‘Half a Wiener Schnitzel and Underwear in a Tree’ (February 15)
• S7, E2: ‘A Roulette Wheel and a Piano Playing Dog’ (February 22)
• S7, E3: ‘A Strudel and a Hot American Boy Toy’ (February 29)
• S7, E4: ‘Ants on a Log and a Cheating Winker’ (March 7)
• S7, E5: ‘A Frankenstein’s Monster and a Crazy Church Guy’ (March 14)
• S7, E6: ‘Baptists, Catholics and an Attempted Drowning’ (April 4)
• S7, E7: ‘A Proper Wedding and Skeletons in the Closet’ (April 4)

CBS has yet to confirm its schedule for Episodes 8-14, though fans expect episodes will be doubling up each week. The series finale is still believed to be airing on May 16, 2024.
