Young Sheldon fans are in for a treat as the creators of the sitcom are bringing in a spinoff series called Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage that will focus on George Cooper and his wife Mandy's lives as they get married and raise their child together.
This series happens to be the third installment in the Big Bang Theory universe, where the previous two revolved around Sheldon Cooper's life, with Young Sheldon serving as a prequel to The Big Bang Theory.
However, creating a spinoff series comes with its own struggles, as Steven Molaro, executive producer of the new show, told fans at an event. The producer talked about how it was comparatively easier to work on Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage than Young Sheldon because the latter came with the responsibility of joining so many dots that were initiated in The Big Bang Theory.
It’s very stressful to try to get that stuff correct. I think we’re lucky enough that in this show, we don’t know that much about Georgie and Mandy and their relationship. Even from Big Bang, there’s very little … we know at some point he becomes a tire magnate. And that’s kind of the only thing. [On] ‘Young Sheldon,’ we had lots of things and trying to figure out the timeline and when things were supposed to happen was breaking our brains.
An exciting addition to Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage
One of the most exciting parts of the new series is the return of Lance Barber as George Sr. in a dream sequence, and seeing as how he was a fan favorite on Young Sheldon, it's most certainly good news for fans. Fans were devastated when the Cooper patriarch died in Young Sheldon, but the showrunners have found a way to bring him back in Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage.
Talking about his role, executive producer Steve Holland said,
“[Barber] is going to be returning as George Sr. in an episode coming up, which we’re really excited about. It was so much fun to have him back on the set, especially after killing him off on ‘Young Sheldon’ — that was our apology.”
Holland even described the scene where Lance will be making an appearance as he said,

“Georgie is thinking about his dad, and he’s sort of worried that his dad might be disappointed in him, and so his dad visits him in a dream. It came out of a conversation we’d had with Chuck [Lorre] even early on talking about the show, and Chuck had said about his own father that he still dreams about him, that he still visits him.”
Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage is available to stream on Prime Video.
