In the most subtle way, Young Sheldon season 6, episode 19 reveals that Amy and Sheldon have more kids in their post-The Big Bang Theory life.

Warning! Spoilers ahead for Young Sheldon season 6, episode 19.Young Sheldon season 6, episode 19 subtly reveals that Sheldon and Amy have more kids after Leonard Cooper. The socially-inept genius may be the titular character of the prequel series, but he hasn't been the focal point of its storytelling for years now. CBS has diversified its storytelling, and it's clear in Young Sheldon season 6 with all the Cooper family members getting their respective arcs. Occasionally, however, The Big Bang Theory prequel revisits its original premise as Sheldon's origins story, which informs the viewers of the character's future beyond his Nobel Prize in Physics.

Due to its prequel nature, Young Sheldon tends to explain some of Sheldon's oddest quirks and behaviors. However, thanks to Jim Parsons' adult Sheldon narration, the family comedy can also reveal new information about what life has become for him and the Pasadena gang after the events of The Big Bang Theory. That includes the fact that Sheldon wears his Nobel Prize medal everywhere. A bigger revelation than that, however, is the confirmation that Sheldon and Amy eventually have a son named Leonard.

Adult Sheldon Narration Confirms He Has Multiple Kids With Amy

By the end of The Big Bang Theory, Sheldon and Amy were happy in their personal and professional life together. It wasn't until the Young Sheldon season 4 premiere, "Graduation," that it was revealed that they share a son. Since then, however, it sounds like they have expanded their family with more children. In Young Sheldon season 6, episode 19, "A New Weather Girl and Stay-At-Home Coddler," adult Sheldon's narration confirms his dad's theory that his kids would blame him when things go wrong in their lives. "Joke's on him, I did have kids and joke's on me, they say it all the time," Parsons' older character says.

When the couple's first child was revealed, it was clear that Sheldon named his kid after his best friend, Leonard Hofstadter, but also Leonard Nimoy from Star Trek. Both were incredibly important to him during the events of The Big Bang Theory. While Nimoy had always been a favorite of his, his best friend played a much bigger part in this life by being more than patient with him. It's curious when Young Sheldon will reveal the names of Sheldon's other kids, especially considering how thoughtful he and Amy were in naming their eldest.

How Young Sheldon Can Continue

Young Sheldon's continuity may be so bad, but CBS seems to be intent on following the bigger beats in The Big Bang Theory canon. This means that the prequel is approaching its pre-determined ending, with Sheldon moving to Pasadena soon. Luckily, there's a way for Young Sheldon to continue with minimal tweaks. Sheldon may be the titular character of Young Sheldon, but it has outgrown its original premise. After he leaves, Georgie and Missy can carry the series. With a bit of rebranding and a slight shift in storytelling, CBS can lean on the popularity of Sheldon's siblings and make The Big Bang Theory prequel a true family comedy ensemble.

Young Sheldon season 6 airs Thursdays on CBS.
