Fans would be disappointed to know that they will have to wait for a while for Young Sheldon season 5, episode 18. The CBS sitcom had just come back after a two-week hiatus due to NCAA’s March Madness. Now, The Big Bang Theory spin-off is taking another break.

Debuting in 2017, Young Sheldon has mostly operated independently from The Big Bang Theory until the latter wrapped up its 12-season run in 2019. The offshoot tackles Sheldon’s years as a young boy growing up in Texas with his family. Despite starting as a supplementary show for an already popular sitcom, the spin-off has made a name for itself, garnering its own following. Now, as it nears the end of its fifth year, it has become CBS’ highest-rated comedy.

SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY

Ever since Young Sheldon season 5 returned from its mandatory winter hiatus, it has taken a couple more mini-breaks. In February, it went off the air to pave way for the Winter Olympics. It took a similar one in March for NCAA’s March Madness. After Young Sheldon‘s 100th outing, however, viewers will have to wait a little while to know what’s next for Sheldon and his family.

Why Is There No Young Sheldon This Week (April 7th)?

As previously mentioned, Young Sheldon has been going on short hiatuses. But unlike its last two breaks, it’s currently uncertain why CBS isn’t releasing a brand new episode. Instead of a special broadcast like the Winter Olympics or NCAA’s March Madness, the network is simply airing a rerun of Young Sheldon season 5, episode 4 titled “Pish Posh and a Secret Back Room.”

Young Sheldon Season 5, Episode 18 Release Date

The good news is, instead of waiting two weeks for another outing, Young Sheldon season 5, episode 18 will be released on April 14 — at least based on CBS’ listing for the show. This means that The Big Bang Theory spin-off is only taking a week off. Since the network has yet to properly market the outing, there’s a small chance that a change in schedule might still happen, but it would be a rarity to do a last-minute alteration.

Accidental movie and TV fan who is perpetually curious, Ana rekindled her love for writing and married it with everything pop culture. The result is a passionate writer who could ramble (and of course, pen) about films and series multiple hours a day. She has a soft spot for procedurals and old sitcoms (The Golden Girls!) but won’t dare watch any horror films although she’s (ironically) dying to see one. Though a bit late to the party and was an actual Force non-believer, she now finds the Star Wars franchise quite fascinating (fun fact: it was a crazy Jar Jar Binks/Sith theory that drew her in).
