The new series will follow the young couple as they raise their family in Texas and navigate the challenges of adulthood, parenting and marriage.
“It has been a privilege to spend the last seven years with Sheldon and the Cooper family, and now this wonderful journey will continue with Georgie and Mandy,” Reichenbach said.
