Last year, CBS announced that Chuck Lorre’s last two sitcoms, Bob Hearts Abishola and Young Sheldon, were airing their final seasons this year. So it looked like, for the first time in 21 years, CBS would be without one of Lorre’s series.
But today, CBS announced that they picked up a spinoff of Young Sheldon, which is a spinoff of The Big Bang Theory.
Sheldon’s brother, Georgie (Montana Jordan), his fiancee, Mandy (Emily Osment), and their daughter are getting their own series next season.
“It has been a privilege to spend the last seven years with Sheldon and the Cooper family and now this wonderful journey will continue with Georgie and Mandy,” said Amy Reisenbach, president of CBS Entertainment. “Chuck and both Steves [Steven Molaro and Steve Holland] have done a masterful job developing these characters and entertaining generations of fans with relatable, heartwarming stories brought to life by Montana and Emily. We eagerly look forward to the next chapter in this beloved universe.”
I hope they find a way to incorporate Annie Potts as MeeMaw and Jerry O’Connell as the future voice of Georgie. O’Connell played Georgie on TBBT.
This is the second spinoff that CBS ordered for next season. They also ordered NCIS: Origins, which is about Agent Gibbs’ beginning with the federal agency.
