In the best news ever, it’s been confirmed that Young Sheldon cast member Raegan Revord, who plays Missy, will be returning as a series regular for the spinoff show!
Executive producer Steve Molaro previously confirmed that Zoe Perry, Raegan Revord and Annie Potts will all return as Mary, Missy and Meemaw. He revealed to TVLine: “Zoe and Annie are in the first episode, and Raegan will be in the second episode.” However, a new report from TV Insider has revealed Missy will be returning as a regular character.

But she might seem a bit different from when we last saw her as fellow executive Steve Holland revealed to TV Insider: “We’re going to see a slightly different Missy. She’s gone through the loss of her dad and she’s acting out. She’s [becoming] rebellious.”
Unfortunately, Raegan Revord didn’t seem too happy with how the producers left the fate of Missy at the end of Young Sheldon. In an interview with TVLine, the actress opened up about the frustrations that both she and viewers had over how the show handled her character arc.
She explained: “It breaks my heart. She just doesn’t have it easy. Her whole life, she was kind of ignored because of her [twin] brother and the one person who paid her attention died. She’s left with a grieving mom who probably isn’t there for her the way that she should have been because they’re all dealing with George’s death in their own way. Mary very much leans into her religion… and in Big Bang, Missy’s a waitress, she’s got all these kids and she’s the least successful Cooper kid.”
