Among the highly popular and engaging spin-off prequels that many would love to rewatch is Young Sheldon. This coming-of-age sitcom debuted in 2017 and concluded with seven triumphant seasons on CBS.
While Iain Armitage's Sheldon Cooper is the titular character, the show also features other interesting figures like Sheldon's twin sister Missy Cooper, played by actress Raegan Revord. Unlike Sheldon who struggles to socialize and fit into his family and school, Missy is more socially skilled and knows how to interact with others.
While her twin brother is known for his remarkable intellect and logical approach to life, Missy is famous for being a source of comic relief in her family. Being a lively character, Missy often teases Sheldon but also proves to be a thoughtful and caring sister.
As seen in the early seasons of Young Sheldon, Missy faced several challenges, especially when it came to gathering her parents' attention. She even felt neglected and thought her parents had prioritized Sheldon due to his intelligence and academic excellence.
Throughout her time on Young Sheldon, Revord's character navigates family life and typical teenage struggles. Missy didn't just become a beloved character but also paved the way for Raegan Revord to return for Georgie and Mandy's First Marriage, a direct sequel to Young Sheldon.
