The premiere of Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage on CBS is just around the corner, and we now know when this Young Sheldon spin-off takes place. Starring Montana Jordan and Emily Osment, who will reprise their roles as Georgie Cooper and his wife, Mandy McAllister, the new series won’t have a significant timeline gap from Young Sheldon and The Big Bang Theory.
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight at the 2024 Kids’ Choice Awards, Jordan shared that the events of Georgie & Mandy occur two months after the finale of Young Sheldon. This means the young couple is still coping with the loss of George Cooper Sr. (played by Lance Barber). Jordan mentioned that viewers will witness Georgie stepping up as the man of the house during this difficult time:
“You’ll find them two months after Young Sheldon ended. They’re still mourning the loss of George [Sr.], and you’ll see Georgie become the man of the household.”
Young Sheldon concluded on a somber note in May 2024, with a two-part finale featuring George Cooper Sr.’s funeral and the family’s struggles with their grief. While many family members dealt with their emotions in various ways—through sadness, anger, or faith—Georgie was shown trying to hold things together as the rest of the family became emotionally distant.
What Do We Know about ‘Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage’?
Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage was announced in January 2024 and will be filmed in a different format than Young Sheldon. The series will explore the young couple’s journey of raising a daughter while navigating the challenges of adulthood, parenting, and marriage. The early synopsis reads: “Georgie and Mandy as they raise their young family in Texas.”
Joining Jordan and Osment, Will Sasso and Rachel Bay Jones will reprise their roles as Mandy’s parents, Jim and Audrey McAllister. There are also reports that Jerry O’Connell may return as the older Georgie Cooper from The Big Bang Theory, along with other familiar faces. Unfortunately, Raegan Revord, who portrayed Missy in Young Sheldon, has confirmed she was not invited back for the spin-off.
Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage is set to premiere on CBS on October 17, 2024. For more updates, stay tuned to Collider. In the meantime, you can stream Seasons 1-6 of Young Sheldon on Netflix, and Season 7 is available for purchase on Prime Video.
