It’s been a couple of months since Young Sheldon finished airing its final season, and it seems many of the former cast members have returned to the studio to show support for the next Big Bang Theory spin-off, Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage. It was recently confirmed that one of the Cooper siblings will appear more frequently than was originally planned. So, of course, it’s no family reunion without seeing their dad, who is now sporting a totally new look after the end of the long-running sitcom.
Over on Instagram, Raegan Revord (Missy Cooper), shared several photos with a caption that reads “very cutesy, very mindful,” a reference to the viral TikTok meme. The gallery contains some behind-the-scenes photos of Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage, including a reunion with Lance Barber (George Sr), who is now rocking a beard. It was revealed that the upcoming spin-off would take place two months after the events of Young Sheldon, so it makes sense that Barber no longer has to appear like he was still the Cooper patriarch.
Barber has been one of the main cast members of Young Sheldon, appearing in the show since it first began in Season 1. Unlike how he was described in The Big Bang Theory, he was more seen as someone who cared for his family and would put their needs above his. The Young Sheldon finale revolved around his death, which happened off-camera, as it was a fixed event due to The Big Bang Theory canon.
