Anyone who misses Sheldon’s dad will be able to get a quick fix this season on Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage. Lance Barber, who played George Sr. for seven seasons on Young Sheldon, is expected to reprise his role sometime this season.

TV Insider was on the scene and, following the Q&A panel, chatted up executive producer Steve Holland about Barber’s return, who else from Young Sheldon might appear again and/or next on Georgie & Mandy, and why established lore from Big Bang doesn’t tie creative hands as much as one might think!

Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage is conjuring its first spirit. Lance Barber, who for seven seasons starred as Cooper family patriarch George Sr. on CBS’ Young Sheldon, will reprise his role in an upcoming episode of the hit spinoff.

Luckily, fans who are waiting for Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage to return don't have to wait much longer. It will return with its eighth episode on Thursday, January 30, 2025, at 8 pm EST. The spin-off took over Young Sheldon's old Thursday slot on CBS.
