Young Sheldon star Annie Potts hosts series finale viewing party with the cast at her house: 'The family gathered at Meemaw's'

Young Sheldon star Annie Potts celebrated the end of an era with a viewing party at her house for the very last episode of her hit series.

She took a video of her guests which included Young Sheldon series leads Lance Barber, Zoe Perry and Raegen Revord.

The Pretty in Pink actress, 71, captioned the post: 'The family gathered at Meemaw's to watch the finale. Great job, EVERYONE, and THANK YOU to all of you who tuned in.'

In the video posted on Instagram, Potts, 71, surveyed the room asking people's opinions on the final two episodes, which aired on May 16.

'I feel amazing. I think it was a beautiful story and it was well-told, and I am grateful for it,' Matt Hobby, who played Pastor Jeff Difford in the show, said.

'Thank you for calling me Robin,' Grill, 43, said to Potts, referencing her character's name of Robin Difford. 'What a pleasure it was to appear on Young Sheldon, but really to be married to a man who I am so proud of. And to all of you! You did it.'

Young Sheldon potentially marks the end of Potts' long and successful acting career. She said it could be her 'last rodeo' on the May 10 episode of The Talk.

'I mean, I thought about that though, panicked me a little bit. These things are hard to come by, I've had a couple, but they were all tough, so yeah,' she said.

Annie previously called the cancelation of the sitcom – which ran from 2017 to 2024 – 'a stupid business decision.'

The show had been given a three-season renewal in March 2021, taking the show up through season seven.

But in November CBS revealed season seven would be Young Sheldon's last.

'I was completely unprepared. I was shocked. I mean, the No. 1 show on network TV, No. 1 on Netflix,' she told Variety.

'We’re, I think, all that people watch on TikTok besides a couple of recipes for pasta. It just seemed like such a stupid business move.

'Forgive me, but I don’t know. If a show is starting to drag or lag or have a lack of stories or whatever, then you kind of see it coming. We were totally ambushed by this. I was, anyway.'

The sitcom, which ran from 2017 to 2024, concluded with Young Sheldon on CalTech's campus looking at the school sign.

A faculty member asked him if he was lost and Sheldon replied: 'No, I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be.'

Ian Armitage, 15, who played Young Sheldon, agreed with Potts.

'I totally get what Annie means. It’s also just hard in a really weird way that I can only really see if I step back and try and take a global view, which is hard,' Armitage said.

'I mean, I’m not going to get to see Annie Potts every day. This is a real loss for me. More than anyone. I definitely think we could have done a lot more.

The group gathered at Potts house appeared to be having a jovial time

Potts was asked how she was feeling now that the work on the series was done. 'It’s been really, really, really emotional. I mean, it’s been half of Ian’s life, and it’s been a 10th of mine, but at 70, that feels significant,' she said

'And, you know, it’s a little village that we have, and we’ve all taken care of each other and raised each other up'

'There will be a grievous hole in my life. There’s no question about it. It’ll get easier. Grief does, loss does,' she admitted

Armitage added, 'It’s definitely hard to end and getting to work with such incredible people will always make it harder.'
