According to Gamenguide "The Big Bang Theory" Season 11 has been bracing for its uproarious comeback resulting from its sustained high viewership and reviews. While, the series has only one episode left to be shown on December 15, top level contracts' talks have started between the networks and producers.

However on the sideline, there is an on-going talks for the prequel spinoff of the series to focus on the life of the young version of Sheldon growing up in the background of Texas. This means that the CBS network and Warner Bros, which will bring "The Big Bang Theory" Season 11 will have two shows at hand to handle. In a report by TVLine, the storyline of the spinoff is being developed and soon the script will be completed.
"The Big Bang Theory" Season 11 Sheldon spinoff will have Jim Parsons as the executive producer but he will not appear as Sheldon. Chuck Loree will still serve as co-creator of the series with Bill Prady while Steve Molar will be the show runner.
