It’s official: CBS has handed a straight-to-series order to a Young Sheldon spinoff centered on Georgie and Mandy.
The as-yet-untitled offshoot — which is being penned by Young Sheldon co-creators Chuck Lorre and Steven Molaro, and fellow TBBT veteran (and current Sheldon showrunner) Steve Holland — will follow Montana Jordan and Emily Osment‘s fan-favorite character “as they raise their young family in Texas while navigating the challenges of adulthood, parenting and marriage,” according to the official logline.
As first reported by TVLine, Young Sheldon Season 7 will feature Georgie and Mandy’s wedding — more details on which can be found here.
“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,” CBS Entertainment President Amy Reisenbach said in a statement Tuesday. “Chuck and both Steves have done a masterful job developing these characters and entertaining generations of fans with relatable, heartwarming stories brought to life by Montana and Emily. We eagerly look forward to the next chapter in this beloved universe.”
Added Lorre, Molaro and Holland: “From The Big Bang Theory to Young Sheldon, the world of the Cooper family has been incredibly special to us. 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. An episode count and release date for Season 1 have not yet been confirmed, but the series is set to premiere during the 2024-25 TV season.
Assuming Young Sheldon‘s narrative keeps at a steady pace, Sheldon will turn 14 in Season 7 — the age at which, per Big Bang’s previously established timeline, the future Nobel Prize winner moves from Medford, Texas, to Pasadena, Calif., to begin his graduate studies at the California Institute of Technology.
That same year, Georgie marries for the first time, and family patriarch George meets his maker, setting up Young Sheldon for a bittersweet sendoff not unlike early ’90s classic The Wonder Years. But time will tell if the spinoff remains true to canon. As Holland previously warned TVLine, “just because [something happened on Big Bang] doesn’t mean it’s a story [our narrator] has to tell.”
The Georgie-and-Mandy offshoot is separate from the previously announced Big Bang Theory spinoff for streaming service Max — which, as of November, was still in the “prenatal” stage according to Lorre.
As glad as I am to see these characters continue, I sort of hoped they stuck to the single cam setup of Young Sheldon.
Actually would have preferred a show focusing on Missy, but I can only assume the rest of the Medford family would be on this series in some form.
I never watched BBT, have seen a little of YS. I like these 2 characters but I’m not sure I’d enjoy them in a laugh track enhanced show, but OTOH, Emily Osment does them so well – I’ll give it a chance.
I enjoyed both tbbt and ys. Alĺ of the characters in both shows are well developed and likeable.
I’ll watch Georgie and Mandy as well.
I’ll also miss George Sr as well.
I hope Annie Pot’s continues as well.
I will probably watch the spin off with Georgie from Young Sheldon but not a fan of his so bet it won’t last.
Glad to read this but not a fan of the multi-cam format, prefer the single cam like Young Sheldon. More story and character driven as opposed to punchline driven. I’ll still watch though because I really like the characters from Young Sheldon. They can easily carry a show without She!don.
Best thing about young sheldon, No laugh trac!!!
As long as Sheldon is not on the show should be good. He was the worst part of Young Sheldon even if the show was about him
Don’t kill George
I hope they bring back several of the Young Sheldon characters. Where would Georgie and Mandy be without MeeMaw?
Going to miss Young Sheldon. The only show on TV worth watching. Good clean show.
Hoping they keep, Missy, Mary, and Meemaw. Not sure a show with just Georgie and Mandy would be worth watching. Guess time will Tell!
I can’t wait for this!!! I’ve wanted this since their storyline started.
I’m always happy for more Emily Osmont on my screen so I’m glad.
I am over the moon about this wonderful news! I love Georgie and Mandy (especially Georgie), and will definitely tune it in, Hopefully other members of the Cooper clan will make visits. I’m a little disappointed about the live audience, however; I find audience laughter to be a bit distractive. Hooray!
One of the appealing things about Young Sheldon is its format and lack of canned laughter. I never got into TBBT.
I don’t mean to be mean, but I was never a fan of YS. I don’t think I will be watching the spin off. Sorry about that.
I never liked TBBT, but have watched YS since the pilot. I was excited about this until I read it would be multi-cam. I really don’t like multicam shows, so I’ll give it a shot but it worries me.
Also, keep Missy and Meemaw somehow. I don’t care for Sheldon or the mom, and sadly George will apparently die. :(
I have a feeling that this show is going to fail.
Hollywood has run out of original ideas. Sad
Are You Kidding !! ? Seem like nice actors, but, No No No. C’mon,. Don’t watch, send a message
Live audience. Canned laughter. Laugh track. Whatever you call it. I’m out.
Refused to watch Big Bang Theory, and watched Young Sheldon, because of the presence/absence of this extremely annoying “background noise”.
Are they really going to do this?? I never cared what happened with them on Young Sheldon.
“Officially Ordered at CBS”
They better announce soon Missy, Meemaw and Mary as regulars on that show too, cause there’s no Georgie Cooper without the rest of his family that is staying on Texas
Bring the dad back from the dead. He is the best and funniest character.
