Young Sheldon season 7 plot

At the end of Young Sheldon season 6, Sheldon and his mom were in Germany while Sheldon was studying abroad when a tornado approached Medford. Season 7 will likely pick up where the finale left off. 

Season 7 is also potentially notable in the story of the Cooper family because according to adult Sheldon in The Big Bang Theory,  Sheldon and Missy were 14 when their dad died. Season 7 marks the season when they will be 14 so fans have been bracing themselves for George Sr.'s impending demise.
