How old the Young Sheldon characters were when the show started, compared to the finale

The first season of Young Sheldon aired back in 2017 and looking at the ages of the characters of the Cooper family that we have all grown to feel we are part of, some of them were super young when it started. The show has now aired it’s final season and ran over a span of seven years – nearly a decade!

Over those seven seasons, five years were meant to have passed in the Young Sheldon universe so the characters all grew up quite a bit. So, here’s a run down of how old the Young Sheldon characters were in season one of the show compared to their ages in the finale.

When we first meet Young Sheldon he is the youngest of the Cooper family and therefore the youngest of all the characters ages. He’s nine-years-old in the first season and is just beginning high school with his older brother and by the time he graduates in the final season he is 14.

Missy Cooper
