Sasso and Jones will make their final Young Sheldon appearance in Part 1 of Thursday’s series finale. Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage will follow this fall and inherit Young Sheldon‘s Thursdays-at-8/7c time slot on CBS; a premiere date has not yet been announced.
Both actors have history with Big Bang Theory franchise co-creator Chuck Lorre: The former recurred on Mom as Jill’s eventual husband Andy, and guest-starred in a Season 7 episode of Two and a Half Men. The latter recurred throughout both seasons of United States of Al as Art’s girlfriend Lois.
Following Georgie and Mandy’s wedding, the newlyweds, along with their infant daughter CeeCee, moved in with Jim and Audrey. Shortly thereafter, Georgie went to work for his father-in-law at the family’s auto shop, setting Sheldon’s older brother up for his Big Bang Theory future as Dr. Tire. Watch a recap below:
Unlike single-camera comedy Young Sheldon, multi-cam Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage will shoot in front of a live studio audience — just like The Big Bang Theory.
The spinoff’s title is a play on previously established Big Bang Theory lore: In the hit sitcom’s 2019 series finale, Nobel Prize winner Sheldon said he received congratulatory texts from Georgie’s ex-wife… and Georgie’s other ex-wife.
During a recent interview with TVLine, Osment expressed hope that the new show would find a way to undo (or at the very least tinker with) Georgie’s marital history.
“I’m hoping that I’m the ex-wife and the new wife,” she said. “People get divorced and remarried. Why can’t she be both?”
Judging by the title, it sounds like that’s precisely what producers have in mind.
