If you’re still missing Young Sheldon, don’t worry — the story isn’t over. CBS has officially confirmed that Season 2 of the hit spinoff — which scored a strong 89% rating on Rotten Tomatoes — is returning this fall.

The Release Date Is Locked In — Mark Your Calendars
After months of speculation, CBS has revealed that Season 2 will premiere in Fall 2025, with the exact air date scheduled for Thursday, October 2nd at 8:30 PM EST, following a new episode of Ghosts.
Episodes will also be available to stream on Paramount+ the next day.
A Spinoff That Surprised Everyone
When Young Sheldon wrapped up, fans were uncertain whether a spinoff could carry the same charm. But the Georgie & Mandy spinoff — unofficially referred to by many fans as Young Family — not only carried the torch but lit a new fire entirely.
Critics and fans alike praised:
-
The authentic chemistry between Montana Jordan (Georgie) and Emily Osment (Mandy)
-
The refreshing take on young adulthood and parenting
-
Its blend of classic sitcom humor and heartfelt storytelling
The result? A strong 89% Fresh score on Rotten Tomatoes and a quickly renewed second season.
What Season 2 Is Expected to Explore
1. Parenting Gets More Complicated
Georgie and Mandy ended Season 1 juggling diapers, bills, and family drama. In Season 2, we’ll see them tackle:
-
Baby CeeCee’s first steps
-
Relationship growing pains
-
Possible marriage talks (or second thoughts?)
2. New Job and Career Paths
Georgie’s auto shop gig might hit some bumps — literally and figuratively — while Mandy could explore new career ambitions beyond stay-at-home parenting.
3. Extended Cooper Family Ties
The Coopers aren’t gone yet. Expect cameos from Mary, Meemaw, and maybe even Missy, who’s been rumored to pop up with a surprising storyline of her own.
What Critics Are Saying About the Spinoff
“A spinoff with real heart. Osment and Jordan shine as the most unexpectedly lovable couple on network TV.”— TV Guide
“It feels like a grown-up evolution of Young Sheldon, yet somehow stays just as charming.” — Collider
The Format — Old School Sitcom With a Modern Twist
Unlike Young Sheldon, which had a single-camera, dramedy vibe, the spinoff returns to classic multi-cam sitcom roots, complete with laugh tracks, live audience feel, and faster pacing.
If you missed the warm, chaotic energy of The Big Bang Theory — this is where it lives now.

-
Dale – Georgie’s sarcastic new shop manager
-
Rachel – Mandy’s confident, career-driven sister
