Young Sheldon fans may be mourning the show’s end, but there’s a new beginning on the horizon with CBS‘s upcoming spinoff Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage.
Premiering Thursday, October 17, the half-hour comedy switches things up from Young Sheldon‘s single-camera format to the multi-cam world fans will recognize from The Big Bang Theory, the original series from which Sheldon was spun off. The series focuses on the titular Georgie (Montana Jordan) and Mandy (Emily Osment), as well as Manndy’s parents, Audrey (Rachel Bay Jones) and Jim (Will Sasso), but they’re not the only familiar characters who will return!

During the TCA Summer 2024 Tour, TV Insider caught up with stars Jones and Sasso who offered a tease about the guest stars in store for the highly-anticipated premiere episode.
“I’m really excited to have Annie Potts back,” Jones gushes. “She’s one of my dearest friends. And I’m really thrilled to have Meemaw continue on. That’s going to be fun.”
While Potts’ reprisal seems like an obvious choice for the cast to be excited about, Sasso adds that there’s excitement for “all of them.”

“It’s going to be amazing having Annie and Zoe [Perry, who plays Sheldon’s mom Mary Cooper] in our first episode, and moving on from there with Reagan [Revord, who plays Sheldon’s twin Missy Cooper],” he adds. “It’s going to be wild. But I think audiences are going to dig having these characters from Young Sheldon come in and again, seeing them in a completely new light.”
And Jones wants viewers to know that the love they have for these characters is mutual. “We love them as much as the audience loves them,” she gushes. “We love the characters and the actors.”
