Perry is the real-life daughter of Laurie Metcalf, who plays Sheldon’s mother on The Big Bang Theory, and Scandal star Jeff Perry.
Sheldon, the in-development Big Bang Theory spin-off prequel about breakout character Sheldon Cooper’s childhood in Texas, has found its young Sheldon as well as his mother Mary, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Unlike The Big Bang Theory, Sheldon is planned as a laugh track-free single-camera series.
Sheldon’s upbringing is often mentioned on The Big Bang Theory.
