comes to an end, attention turns to Georgie and Mandy’s spinoff series, hinting at Mandy’s desire for a career.
Georgie (Montana Jordan) and Mandy (Emily Osment) have jumped through many hoops in the last few seasons of Young Sheldon. An unexpected pregnancy, and now a happily married couple, the pair are in the infant stages of nurturing their bond but family might be a challenge. It is no secret that Mandy’s mother, Audrey (Rachel Bay Jones) does not like her son-in-law very much. But for the most part, they have found a way to tolerate each other. As we build up to the series finale of Young Sheldon and the start of the upcoming Georgie and Mandy spinoff, the relationship between the pair is something to watch out for going forward.
A new sneak peek for episode 9, titled, A Fancy Article and a Scholarship for a Baby, features Mandy and Georgie taking a stroll with their daughter. The couple had been forced to move in with Mandy’s parents, the McAllisters while the Coopers dealt with a plumbing issue at their place. However, it is an adjustment that Audrey has decided to make difficult for Georgie. In the new clip via Screen Rant, Georgie brings up Audrey’s complaints about how he speaks to Mandy. Complaints which Mandy brushes aside, that is until it was suggested that Baby Cece might speak like her daddy. Those thoughts bring Mandy to suggest to her husband that he could take classes to get rid of his accent, which leave Georgie puzzled. Who wouldn’t love his rich Texan accent?
Besides the battle to rid Georgie of his accent, Young Sheldon‘s next episode puts before Sheldon (Iain Armitage) the difficult choice of deciding where attend grad school. Despite being a torn in their sides for many years – with Dr Linkletter (Ed Begley Jr.) being his biggest victim – Dr Linkletter and Dr. Sturgis (Wallace Shawn) teamed up to try and persuade Sheldon into remaining at East Texas tech.
A Different Mandy in The Works
As established by the flagship series, The Big Bang Theory, Sheldon will end up at Caltech, and whether or not Georgie changes his accent remains to be seen. However, the issue regarding his accent might be some of the little hurdles Audrey might use to try a wedge between the pair should she feature in the upcoming spin-off. After Young Sheldon concludes on May 16, attention turns to the Georgie and Mandy untitled show which is scheduled to begin filming in the summer. While exact details remain scant regarding the project, Osment has hinted at an evolution for her character when the new series comes around. “It’s hinted in the marriage episode that [Mandy] wants to go back to school, that she maybe wants to have a career, that she doesn’t want to just be a stay-at-home mom, which is how I feel,” she explained in a previous interview.
The final episode of Young Sheldon airs on May 16. Past seasons are streaming now on Paramount+ in the U.S. Watch the promotional clip above.
