CBS has given a full season order to the new Young Sheldon spin-off, Georgie and Mandy's First Marriage, following the airing of its first two episodes. The network has added nine more episodes, a so-called "Back 9" order, bringing the total to 22 episodes for the show's first season.

"With the resounding success of THE BIG BANG THEORY and YOUNG SHELDON, we were instantly on board when Chuck, Steven and Steve brought us the idea to further explore this world through GEORGIE & MANDY'S FIRST MARRIAGE," said Amy Reisenbach, president of CBS Entertainment. "The enthusiastic audience reception has demonstrated the enormous appeal of these characters and we can't wait to see all of the hilarious fun this season will undoubtedly deliver."

CBS revealed that, according to VideoAmp and Paramount+ internal data, the series premiere of Georgie and Mandy's First Marriage was watched by 10.6 million viewers in its first week across multiple platforms. Additionally, streaming on Paramount+ and the CBS.com website and app was up 72% compared to the seventh season premiere of Young Sheldon earlier this year.

This marks the second debut show CBS has extended an additional order to this season. Last week, the network ordered a second season of the Kathy Bates legal drama Matlock, after just two episodes aired. That show had already received an 18-episode order for its first season.
