The next television show to spawn from the Big Bang Theory franchise is Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage. Coming to CBS this fall, the show will pick up shortly after the events of Young Sheldon, following Montana Jordan’s Georgie and Emily Osment’s Mandy.
In a recent interview with ET, Osment commented on the upcoming spinoff. She shared how she’s been actively trying to get Jerry O’Connell involved with the show, perhaps as the series narrator. This would tie back into The Big Bang Theory, which featured O’Connell guest starring as the older version of Georgie Cooper. Jim Parsons voiced the adult Sheldon as the narrator for Young Sheldon, so that might pave the way for O’Connell to narrate Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage, as Osment suggested.
“I run into Jerry O’Connell so much in my neighborhood, who of course plays older Georgie, and I’m trying to figure out how to get him back on in some way. Maybe he’ll be the narrator,” she said, also sharing an update on the spinoff’s progress. “I actually have not read anything yet but we’re starting fairly soon and we’re still in the process of pre-production.”
Emily Osment and Jerry O’Connell Recently Appeared Together
Osment and O’Connell recently appeared in a video together that went viral with fans of The Big Bang Theory and Young Sheldon. Whether this ends up getting O’Connell a role in Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage remains to be seen. Very little has been announced at this point in terms of which cast members will be featured beyond Jordan and Osment in the titular roles. Beyond the two leads, it’s also known that Will Sasso and Rachel Bay Jones will return as Mandy’s parents after playing the characters in Young Sheldon.
“I think, you know, we’ve always talked about this new show as this world getting to continue,” executive producer Steve Holland told TVLine about the new spinoff separating from its predecessor. “It’s important for us that it create its own identity and it isn’t just Young Sheldon Season 8 — part of the move to multi-cam is for it to have its own identity — but at the same time, these people are family, and they live in the same town, and it is always our hope that this is a world where they’re going to pop up, and that these stories will get to continue in some fashion.”
Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage will premiere on CBS on Sept. 1, 2024.
