A new promo video for Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage sees fan-favorite Missy Cooper officially return home.
The promo was released through the official Young Sheldon account on Instagram on August 26 as part of a National Dog Day celebration. The video features appearances from returning stars Montana Jordan, Emily Osment, Will Sasso, Rachel Bay Jones, and Raegan Revord, who portray Georgie, Mandy, Audrey, Jim, and Missy, respectively. Revord’s return was previously uncertain up until news of her upcoming reprisal was confirmed in July.
Executive producer Steve Holland has discussed the version of Missy fans can look forward to seeing on Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage, who he described as “slightly different.” Holland explained, “She’s gone through the loss of her dad and she’s acting out. She’s [becoming] rebellious.” Holland went on to note that Missy’s problems will go on to impact the rest of the series’ leading cast, especially Montana Jordan’s Georgie Cooper. “He’s trying to balance being a husband and a father and also being a caretaker to his sister, who’s having some struggles.”
Young Sheldon’s Story Continues With Georgie and Mandy
Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage follows the events of the hit The Big Bang Theory prequel series, Young Sheldon, which left off with a glimpse at the adult life of its titular character after reeling from the death of his father, George, portrayed by Lance Barber. Series co-creator Chuck Lorre has also discussed what the upcoming Young Sheldon spinoff has in store for its leading couple. In early August, Lorre promised “a bumpy ride, but the bumps are comedy if handled correctly.” Lorre went on to note that Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage will also include plenty of “dramatic moments as well, because they will face inevitable obstacles to staying together.”
Among the rest of the series’ returning cast are Zoe Perry, who played Mary Cooper on Young Sheldon, and Annie Potts, who portrayed Connie “Meemaw” Tucker. In a recent behind-the-scenes look at the set of Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage, fans got to see Lance Barber reunited with his former Young Sheldon cast members, although it didn’t seem as if he was there for any filming duties. Though many fans had hoped for a George Sr. cameo in Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage, Barber appeared in a full goatee, implying that he was not filming any sort of flashback sequence that day on set.
Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage is currently slated to premiere on CBS on October 17.
