CBS has debuted a poster and three first look images from The Big Bang Theory spinoff comedy series Young Sheldon featuring Iain Armitage (Big Little Lies) as a 9-year-old Sheldon Cooper and Zoe Perry (Scandal) as his mother Mary; take a look below…

It’s 1989, and we meet nine-year-old Sheldon Cooper, the beloved character from THE BIG BANG THEORY, who has skipped four grades to start high school alongside his less-intellectual older brother. We get a peek into the early years–with voiceover from Jim Parsons–of a genius who is misunderstood by his family, classmates and neighbors. His mother preps him with what she thinks is the only tool he’ll need to survive at his new school: remind bullies that his dad’s the football coach and his brother plays on the team. His twin sister, who’s happy to stay in fourth grade, has a better sense of what awaits Sheldon than he does. Young Sheldon may understand Newtonian physics, but his blue-collar, church-going family only cares if that knowledge will help them win a football game.

Young Sheldon is set to get underway on November 2nd on CBS following a one-off preview airing on September 25th.
