Is It Netflix’s Strategy Or Age-Old Fandom That Makes “Young Sheldon” So Popular

Netflix has integrated strategy when hosting seasons 1 to 3 of “Young Sheldon,” which has led to the series beating one of the most popular series worldwide, not just Netflix, “Suits”! According to the reports, season 1 of “Young Sheldon” garnered 19.3 million hours worldwide.

Season 2 of the same series has garnered about 12.1 million hours of watch time, which is significant in its success. The credit for the series’ success is being given to Netflix by Professor Robert Thomson! So, if you want to know where to stream Young Sheldon, now you know!

Thomson is a TV, radio, and film professor who informed Yahoo Entertainment that the CBS sitcom was run on the streaming platform based on a successful strategy. The example drawn to compare was the success of the Emmy Award-winning show Breaking Bad! It originally aired from 2008 to 2013 on AMC!

The series’ popularity developed further when Netflix boosted its shows by premiering the first three seasons before the fourth season was about to air on AMC. This led to more exposure to the series, and people went back to binge-watching, binge-watching the string, and coming up to date to follow for season 4.

Netflix has done this in the “Young Sheldon” case. The series will have its seventh season premiering in February 2024. Hence, Netflix has hosted the previous seasons, thus encouraging people to follow the whole story before proceeding with the new development.

This is also the final season of the prequel of the “Big Bang Theory,” so clearly, it is nostalgic for all fans worldwide. Netflix is milking the exposure and using people’s exposure to the world of Sheldon. However, a lot of people think that it is the age-old experience and fandom that keeps the show running! It illustrates the decade-old familiarity and fandom due to which Young Sheldon is trending so much, according to Walt Hickey, the Pulitzer Prize winner!
