The Big Bang Theory universe expands as the spin-off, Young Sheldon, gets its own spinoff with his older brother Georgie Cooper and his fiancée Mandy McAllister, played on the show by Montana Jordan and Emily Osment. The show proceeds with its straight-to-series order at CBS. The Young Sheldon spinoff hails from the series’ executive producers Steve Holland, Steven Molaro, Chuck Lorre, and Warner Bros. Television. The spinoff aims for a 13-episode order stretched across the 2024-25 season.
In the new series preview from Entertainment Weekly, Holland talks about the upcoming tumultuous adventure for the couple, “They’re a young couple, he’s much younger than she is. They got into this marriage in unique circumstances, so it’s not necessarily going to be an easy ride for them, even though they love each other and they’re in this for the long haul. I think it’s just a little hint that everything isn’t necessarily going to go smoothly for these two.”
Osment also says that the title raises some implications that the audience may inquire about. She explained, “It makes the viewer wonder if this is their first marriage or what could be their second marriage? Will their second marriage be to each other? There’s a lot of questions that are asked when you look at that title.” Holland would reply, “I don’t think it will be explored right away. I think how you should interpret that title, I hope, is intriguing, and a little playful, and a little mysterious.”
So far, Holland says that there is no “grand plan” for some anticipated cameos from the parent show, but he does say, “We would love to have more of them drop by.” However, he was thinking about casting more family members with notable people, “We had Ms. Reba McEntire on [Young Sheldon], and I just really, really, really feel like we need to have Dolly Parton on there. She could be Mandy’s grandmother or something. We ain’t got that role yet.”
Additionally, Holland talks about the change of pace for this series, “This is the first time in 18 years that we’re not writing for Sheldon, and Sheldon’s a great character and I’m so proud to have been a part of writing that character, but this is a different show. I don’t have to keep Googling science facts anymore or trying to pretend that I know what I’m talking about. This is a much more, I think, relatable family show. These are different characters. It’s the same world, but the slice of this world they inhabit has a different flavor to it.”
