3 Young Sheldon Stars Returning For Georgie & Mandy’s Spinoff Series
Three cast members of Young Sheldon are confirmed to return for Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage. Less than two months after the unexpected death of George, life will continue for the Coopers via the next spinoff in The Big Bang Theory franchise. Spearheaded by Chuck Lorre, Steve Holland, and Steven Molaro, Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage will follow Montana Jordan and Emily Osment’s characters as they navigate the early years of their marriage. Luckily for Georgie, three familiar faces will be involved in this new chapter of his life.
As confirmed by the Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage‘s producers at the 2024 TCA Summer Press Tour (via Variety), Zoe Perry, Raegan Revord, and Annie Potts will all be back as Mary, Missy, and Meemaw for the Young Sheldon sequel series. All three actors are confirmed to make a guest appearance in Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage season 1. Additionally, executive producer Chuck Lorre reveals that more characters from the beloved The Big Bang Theory prequel can also return in the new expansion series. Read his full quote below:
“We’re going slowly on this. There’s a learning curve for us. But, you know, Georgie’s mother and sister and grandmother are very much part of this world.”
Why It’s So Important For Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage To Bring Back Mary, Missy, And Meemaw?

Coming back for Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage allows the producers to make up for this issue.
The emotional Young Sheldon finale is arguably one of the best endings for a sitcom in recent memory. George’s funeral episode was the perfect balance between drama and humor — an impressive feat considering the subject matter that it was tackling. However, it’s not perfect, as its glaring issues were primarily about how it handled the final fates of Mary, Missy, and Meemaw. With limited screen time left, the rest of Young Sheldon‘s run was devoted to properly wrapping up Sheldon’s childhood in Texas, leaving those three specific characters with unfinished storylines that tainted the conclusion’s overall quality.
Coming back for Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage allows the producers to make up for this issue. However, that’s just one reason why Perry, Revord, and Potts need to return for the Young Sheldon sequel. The second one has to do with the established The Big Bang Theory canon, which says that Georgie took care of his mom and sister after his father’s death, and it will be difficult to do that if Mary and Missy are absent from his married life. As for Meemaw, they owe her so much that she needs to still be in their lives.
Ideally, all three would be official cast members in Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage. At this point, however, this confirmation should be enough to excite Young Sheldon fans who have reservations about the sequel series. Perhaps after seeing just how great Mary, Missy, and Meemaw are in the show, CBS might change their minds and finally properly bring them in.
