CBS orders ‘Young Sheldon’ sequel about Georgie and Mandy

He Big Bang Theory The universe is expanding once again.

CBS has officially ordered a young sheldon Sequel series for the 2024-2025 television season. It’s understandable that you might ask, “Isn’t it Big Bang Theory technically a young sheldon sequel series? Don’t we already know what’s going to happen when Young Sheldon becomes Old Young Sheldon?” The answer to both questions is yes, which may be why the untitled spin-off won’t actually focus in Sheldon (so please keep all the bazingas to yourself)..

Instead, the new series will revolve around Sheldon’s brother, Georgie Cooper (Montana Jordan) and his wife, Mandy (Emily Osment), as they raise their family in Texas while facing the challenges of adulthood, parenthood and marriage.

While Sheldon’s brother has been a central character since young sheldon debuted, even appearing briefly in Big Bang Theory, Mandy arrived in the fifth season. She began a relationship with Georgie after meeting him at Meemaw’s Laundromat and, after a series of back-and-forths, she gave birth to her daughter, Constance, and accepted her proposal in season 6.

The new show is a multi-camera comedy created by Chuck Lorre, Steven Molaro and Steve Holland, the production team behind both. young sheldon and Big Bang Theory. This adds yet another title to the list of shows Lorre has produced for CBS, including Mother and Two and a half Men.

“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,” Amy Reisenbach, president of CBS Entertainment, said in a statement. “Chuck and both Steves have done a masterful job developing these characters and entertaining generations of fans with heartwarming, relatable stories brought to life by Montana and Emily. We look forward to the next chapter in this beloved universe.”

News of the spin-off series comes as young sheldon is in the middle of airing its seventh and final season. The series will conclude with back-to-back episodes on May 16.
