"All those actors and writers and the crew on Young Sheldon are so dear, to get to go back and be in their space as a very welcomed guest was… it was just really sweet," he said.

Parsons, who also serves as an executive producer and narrator for Young Sheldon, initially hesitated about reprising Sheldon Cooper but was moved by the script's beauty and the opportunity it presented.
