The Big Bang Theoryuniverse is set for an expansion this fall on CBS. In the aftermath ofYoung Sheldonending its seven-season run in May, all eyes now turn to what comes next - the upcoming spin-off,Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage. The upcoming spin-off will aim to keep the Coopers on our screens going forward with the marriage of fan-favoriteYoung Sheldoncharacters, Georgie (Montana Jordan) and Mandy (Emily Osment) as the main focus. Currently, the only members of the Cooper family set to return on a regular basis in the sequel, are the series' leading characters. However, there is a push for yet another Cooper to come aboard from the mothership series.
Jerry O’Connellplayed the older version of Georgie Cooper in the original franchise, and Osment is looking to have the actor reprise his role. Speaking toET, Osment reveals that she is personally working on getting O’Connell to come aboard forGeorgie & Mandy’s First Marriagewhich is slated to premiere as part of CBS' 2024-2025 TV schedule. Speaking on the prospect, the actress reveals:
“I run into Jerry O’Connell so much in my neighborhood, who of course plays older Georgie, and I’m trying to figure out how to get him back on in some way. Maybe he’ll be the narrator. I actually have not read anything yet but we’re starting fairly soon and we’re still in the process of pre-production.”
Should Osment’s plan come together, it would continue a pattern established inYoung Sheldon.The Big Bang Theoryspin-off series followed the journey from childhood into teens for the boy genius, Sheldon Cooper (Iain Armitage). Introduced in the original franchise, which ran for 12 seasons, the character was portrayed byJim Parsons, with the actor going on to serve as narrator for the entirety of the series.
‘We Just Pick Right Up’
WhenGeorgie & Mandy’s First Marriageeventually arrives, it will have the task of establishing itself, and creating its own identity. Theshow’s newly updated logosuggests that Georgie and Mandy will eventually have a second marriage due to established canon. However, before we get there,Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriagemust first carve its own path forward. The show will seek to do that with its move awayfrom the multi-cam system employedinYoung Sheldonand to a single-cam with a studio audience.
Regarding where we might meet Georgie and Mandy when the new show premieres, Osment reveals in the same interview that the show remains in pre-production but should pick up right afterthe emotionalYoung Sheldonseries finale.
“I assume it starts right where we left off, so there isn’t too big of a gap for our viewers in terms of, like, story or missing us too much.We just pick right up where we were.”
