Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage follows “Georgie and Mandy as they raise their young family in Texas while navigating the challenges of adulthood, parenting and marriage,” according to the official logline.

The 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, Jordan and Osment expressed hope that the spinoff 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,” Osment said at the time. “People get divorced and remarried. Why can’t she be both?”

The Young Sheldon spinoff will star Montana Jordan as Georgie Cooper and Emily Osment as Mandy McCallister.

Will Sasso and Rachel Bay Jones, who recurred on Young Sheldon as Mandy’s parents, have boarded the highly anticipated spinoff as series regulars.

Zoe Perry (Mary) and Annie Potts (Meemaw) will guest-star in Episode 1, while Raegan Revord (Missy) will return for Episode 2.

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.

While Iain Armitage has not been confirmed for a guest appearance, the door remains open for Sheldon to fly in from Pasadena.

“Like we’ve always said, this is a world where this family exists and can be a part of this world. We love all these actors,” Holland told TVLine in July. “Sheldon is in Pasadena going to school, but I think for a Christmas or a Thanksgiving [episode], we would love to have him stop by.”

In a previous interview with TVLine, Armitage said that he’d be “honored to” reprise Sheldon on the spinoff. “If I got a call to go back, that’d be so much fun,” he said. “I’m also just excited to get to sit back on my couch with some popcorn and watch their show because they’re so good. But I could totally see myself getting in the khakis again, putting on the old penny loafers and bow tie, and going back out on the job.”

The Young Sheldon spinoff has cast Dougie Baldwin (Disjointed) in the series-regular role of Connor, TVLine has learned. He succeeds Joseph Apollonio, who originated the role of Mandy’s sib in a Season 6 episode of the Big Bang Theory prequel.

In Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage, Connor is “a talented oddball with musical prowess who still lives with his parents,” according to the official character breakdown. “Coddled by his mother, Audrey, and hassled by his father, Jim, Connor doesn’t fit in — even in his own family.”

Additionally, Jessie Prez (Griselda) has boarded the spinoff as Ruben, a long-time employee at Jim’s tire store “who is less than enthusiastic about the shop’s newest hire: Jim’s son-in-law, Georgie.”

The Young Sheldon spinoff is being penned by Young Sheldon co-creators Chuck Lorre and Steven Molaro, and fellow Big Bang Theory veteran (and Young Sheldon co-showrunner) Steve Holland.

“From The Big Bang Theory to Young Sheldon, the world of the Cooper family has been incredibly special to us,” they said in a statement. “We’re very excited to continue their stories through the eyes of Georgie and Mandy.”

Unlike Young Sheldon, which pivoted to a single-camera format, the Georgie-and-Mandy spinoff will revert to multi-cam and shoot in front of a live, studio audience — just like Big Bang Theory.
