Two of E4's biggest acquisitions are returning to the channel. The Channel 4 owned and operated channel has picked up the UK rights to the seventh season of Brooklyn Nine-Nine and the third season of The Big Bang Theory prequel Young Sheldon. 
The second season of Young Sheldon will receive its UK premiere on E4 on Thursday November 8th at 8:30pm, it has been announced. 
CBS has handed out a full season order to their The Big Bang Theory prequel series Young Sheldon. The formal back nine order brings the episode order for the show's first season to twenty-two episodes. As had been widely expected, E4 has acquired the exclusive UK rights to CBS' The Big Bang Theory prequel Young Sheldon after striking a deal with international distributor Warner Bros. International Television Distribution. Young Sheldon is set to premiere on E4 in early 2018. The Channel 4 backed channel, owing the a previous long-running deal with Warner Bros, also hold the rights to the eleventh season of The Big Bang Theory, which is set to premiere later this year.
