CBS orders Georgie and Mandy spin-off
CBS has ordered a Young Sheldon spin-off starring Montana Jordan and Emily Osment to air in the 2024/25 season.
The project was first reported to be in development in January this year, two months after CBS announced Young Sheldon would end with its seventh season.
The show, which does not have a title yet, will follow new parents Georgie (Jordan) and Mandy (Osment) as they raise their young family in Texas. Unlike Young Sheldon, the new show will be a multi-camera sitcom filmed in front of an audience, like The Big Bang Theory.
Jordan has portrayed Georgie Cooper since Young Sheldon debuted in 2017. Osment first appeared as Mandy McAllister in the show's fifth season and joined the cast in the sixth season.
The new show is from Young Sheldon producers Chuck Lorre, Steve Molaro and Steve Holland. Lorre and Molaro were the creators of Young Sheldon, while Holland joined the show in 2019 after The Big Bang Theory ended its twelve-season run. The trio all worked together on The Big Bang Theory, which Lorre co-created in 2007.
Young Sheldon launched as a The Big Bang Theory spin-off in 2017, and quickly became the top-rated sitcom of that season. Since The Big Bang Theory ended in 2019, Young Sheldon has held the spot of the #1 sitcom on TV.
The final season of Young Sheldon airs Thursdays on CBS. The show will conclude with an hour-long series finale on Thursday, May 16.
