Annie Potts teases what’s next for Meemaw after Young Sheldon and why she’s involved in Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage. More than two months since Young Sheldon ended, Chuck Lorre and his team are already moving forward with the next expansion series in The Big Bang Theory universe. Technically a follow-up to Young Sheldon, Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage will shift its storytelling focus to the couple and the McAllisters. Luckily, Meemaw is still slated for an appearance, although for now, Potts is only confirmed to be in the pilot.
Taking it to her official Instagram account, Potts shares an image of Meemaw’s parking spot as she films her role in Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage. Check out the image below:

While the image doesn’t reveal any narrative detail for the new show, Potts’ caption is interesting. She says that Meemaw is visiting, hence why Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage will feature her. This is a piece of important information because it means that instead of the couple going to the Coopers on the other side of Medford, which was the case in Young Sheldon, Georgie’s family will now make these trips.
Will Meemaw Still Return To Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage After The Pilot?
Meemaw & Mary Are Only Confirmed To Be In One Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage Episode Thus Far
If anything, Georgie and Mandy should continue their relationship with Meemaw, considering how much she helped them after they found out that they were pregnant.
Previously, set images showed Potts attending the first live studio taping of Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage. Unlike Young Sheldon, its sequel will revert to The Big Bang Theory‘s set-up as a multi-camera sitcom, meaning it will be filmed in front of an audience. Beyond that, however, Potts will also share scenes with her on-screen daughter, Mary. Their sequences were filmed in a closed-door set, hence why Perry wasn’t in Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage live taping. Beyond episode 1, however, it’s unclear if Meemaw and Mary will still return.
Still, CBS is compelled to bring back Mary in future Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage episodes. The Big Bang Theory established that she remained close to her firstborn after George’s unexpected death since Georgie took over the family’s affairs to help her. However, nothing was revealed about Meemaw’s role during this period, so this would make it easier for the show to forget her. That’s not to say that they should. If anything, Georgie and Mandy should continue their relationship with Meemaw, considering how much she helped them after they found out that they were pregnant.
After Mary and Meemaw’s appearance in episode 1, Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage episode 2 will feature Raegan Revord’s Missy next. Like her mother and grandmother, she is confirmed to be in only one episode thus far. Hopefully, however, CBS can find a way to bring them and Sheldon together at the same time for a fun Cooper reunion after Young Sheldon.
