Young Sheldon Spinoff Series Will Center On Georgie And Mandy

A Young Sheldon sequel is in the works. Not the one I predicted, or wanted the most, but it's happening!

“Our whole universe was in a hot, dense state, then nearly fourteen billion years ago expansion started, wait.” The Big Bang Theory became one of the biggest shows on CBS. One of the biggest shows, period. So big, that they did a prequel, Young Sheldon. 

The show wraps up its last - and very short season, because of the writers strike - on March 14. Jim Parsons and Mayim Bialik will be joining the Young Sheldon series finale.

For some reason, I didn't think I would like Young Sheldon, after loving the BBT characters for so many seasons. It took a minute for Iain Armitage, the actor who played young Sheldon, to grow on me, But he did, and I ended up loving the show.

The casting was perfection, even far beyond Iain (Sheldon). Zoe Perry - Laurie Metcalf's actual daughter - was brilliant casting! Raegan Revord, as Sheldon's twin sister Missy, was probably one of the funniest characters on the show - next to Annie Potts as Meemaw. Their chemistry was flawless.

Even though the series is ending, The Cooper family will carry on. A Young Sheldon spinoff about Georgie and Mandy has officially been ordered by CBS, for the 2024-2025 season.

No title as of yet for the show, but it will focus on Georgie (played by Montana Jordan), Sheldon's older brother, and his wife. Mandy (played by Emily Osment). They just had a baby, so we can assume it will be about raising their child, and the challenges surrounding it.

Young Sheldon used a single-camera format. TVLine reports that the spinoff will use a multi-camera shoot, and will be shot in front of a live studio audience. No word as to whether or not any of the other cast members will be joining the series. It sure would make sense, though, and I really hope it happens. But at least we won't have to completely say goodbye to the Coopers.

It all started with a big bang. BANG!

Frasier is one of the most iconic spin-offs of all time, and now, it's coming back.

As we've reported, the revival series will see Kelsey Grammer reprise the role of Frasier Crane. Not much is known about the premise of the series, except that it’ll chronicle Frasier moving to another city to start the next chapter of his life.

This news got us thinking about other popular spin-offs in television history, and there are far more than you think. In fact, we bet you forgot that some of these shows were actually spin-offs.

Scroll below to see ten iconic TV shows that happen to be spin-offs.

Frasier had a tough act to follow being a spin-off of Cheers, but it lasted 11 seasons and won a staggering 37 Emmys overall.

It’s easy to forget, but Happy Days was a spin-off of Love American Style and was on the air for 11 seasons.

A spin-off of a spin-off! Laverne & Shirley lasted eight seasons and gave the world one of the best theme songs ever!

Happy Days was so influential it had two successful spin-offs. Mork and Mindy lasted four seasons and helped launch Robin Williams’ career.

The Soap spin-off lasted seven seasons and netted lead actor Robert Guillaume an Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series.

This classic sitcom spun-off from The Cosby Show, and the first season followed Denise Huxtable (Lisa Bonet) as she entered college. Bonet would leave the series after the first season, but A Different World would last for five more seasons. Plus, their primary theme song was sung by Aretha Franklin. How awesome is that?!

And then there’s Maude! The late, great Bea Arthur stared in this All In The Family spin-off that lasted six seasons.

The Jeffersons were the second spin-off from All In The Family and stayed on the air for 11 seasons. Oh…and it easily had one of the best ensemble casts and theme songs EVER!

Yet another spin-off of a spin-off! Good Times spun-off from Maude, lasted six seasons AND gave the world Jimmie Walker. (Side note: Apparently, it was a rule for all shows created by Norman Lear to have amazing theme songs.)

No spin-off list is complete without The Simpsons. This iconic animated series started off on The Tracey Ullman Show and went to become the longest running American sitcom.
