If the show follows the arc of its previous seasons each following a new semester, this latest series is all set to see Sheldon hit the age of 13 and enter his second year of college.

With season 5 taking on a slightly more serious tone and pitched more as a family drama, we can also expect more of the problems surrounding Sheldon to be explored in this new series (fans of the The Big Bang Theory will be aware that we're approaching a key moment in Sheldon's life as his father George dies when he’s 14).

The entire Cooper family cast are back for this sixth run, with Iain Armitage (Sheldon), Zoe Perry (Mary), Lance Barber (George Sr.), Montana Jordan (Georgie), Raegan Revord (Missy), Annie Potts (Meemaw) all returning, along with the familiar sound of narrator Jim Parsons as the voice of adult Sheldon.

How to watch Young Sheldon online: stream Young Sheldon season 6 online in the US

If you have cable, Young Sheldon season 6 will be shown every Thursday on CBS, kicking off at 8pm ET/PT on September 29.

If you don't have the channel on linear TV, Young Sheldon season 6 is available to stream on Paramount Plus. Currently you can benefit from a 7-day FREE trial of Paramount Plus. Thereafter, Paramount Plus starts at $4.99 a month with Limited Ads, or $9.99 a month for No Ads.

Or, you can opt for a much more fully featured over-the-top streaming service. Some of them struggle with national networks like CBS, so our recommendation in this case would be FuboTV, which is a complete cable replacement starting from $69.99 a month.

There's a FREE 7-day trial deal on offer to try it, and cancelling is easy if you decide it's not for you - essentially meaning it's possible to watch Young Sheldon season 6 online for free, at least the first episode anyway.

If you're abroad today but still want to get your Young Sheldon fix just as you would if you were at home, you'll need a VPN to do so.

However, a Virtual Private Network offers a legal solution to this common internet woe and is remarkably easy to set up and operate. Here's how it works and where to get started.

Can I watch Young Sheldon season 6 online in the UK?

Young Sheldon's regular home in the UK is Channel 4 offshoot E4, however there’s currently no confirmed release date for season 6 yet.

Until then, you can watch seasons 1 through to 3 on Netflix.

If you just want a cheap plan, the basic option is quite affordable, at just £5.99 per month. But if you're looking for HD - or better yet, 4K and HDR - you'll have to look at the premium package - you can find out more with our Netflix pricing guide.

For those looking to watch the show from the start, season 1-5 of Young Sheldon are available in the UK through Amazon Video - though you'll have to buy them, even if you've got Prime Video or are currently checking out the famous FREE 30-day Amazon Prime trial
