**Fans of The Big Bang Theory and Young Sheldon, rejoice—**the much-anticipated spin-off Georgie and Mandy’s First Marriage is finally here! With a fresh setting, heartfelt storylines, and a cast fans already adore, the series is shaping up to be the next big hit in the Sheldon Cooper universe. From on-set baby stories to behind-the-scenes secrets, here’s everything you need to know.
Montana Jordan Returns as Georgie Cooper—Now a Leading Man
Montana Jordan, known for his role as Georgie Cooper in Young Sheldon, now leads the spin-off series. At just 21, Montana welcomed a daughter, Emma Ray, with his longtime girlfriend Jenna, and the shift to a multi-cam format has been a blessing for his new role as a dad.
“I got a 4-month-old baby at the house, so I need my time—and there’s nothing better than this schedule,” Montana shared.
Fans may not realize how much creative freedom the cast now has. Unlike Young Sheldon, which had to align with The Big Bang Theory canon, this new series allows more exploration.
“That’s the great thing about this show—they can do whatever the heck they want,” Montana said.
Baby Drama on Set—Thanks to Missy Actress Raegan Revord
One of the cutest behind-the-scenes moments? Raegan Revord, who plays Missy Cooper, “stole” baby Emma on set! Montana joked about the hilarious moment:
“I just saw her take the baby and walk away—I was like, wait, where’s the baby going?”
Clearly, the cast’s bond goes beyond the script, with Raegan embracing her “aunt” role off-screen.
Emily Osment: Mandy’s Story Is Just Getting Started
Emily Osment reprises her role as Mandy McAllister and feels lucky to continue the story. Her chemistry with Montana is a standout element of the show.
“It’s my dream to be able to continue this story and do it with this guy. I’m thrilled,” Emily shared.
Fans have speculated about the meaning behind the show’s title. Emily teased that Mandy may not be Georgie’s only wife:
“I’m hoping that I’m the ex-wife and the new wife. People get divorced and then get remarried. Why can’t you be both?”
And yes, those elegant opening titles? Emily and Montana learned a full tango for them—ouch, but worth it!
Wedding Bells in Real Life
Emily Osment is also glowing in her personal life. The 32-year-old is engaged to Jack Anthony and shared the big news on Instagram with the caption:
“This love is so big and so uniquely ours and I know it can do anything.”

Will Sasso as Jim McAllister
Will Sasso plays Mandy’s father and brings decades of comedic experience to the role. Known from How I Met Your Mother and United We Fall, Will is excited to be part of what he calls “the Big Bang universe.”
“You’ve got the family aspect from Young Sheldon and the multi-cam aspect from Big Bang. Together those elements create a brand new and unique show.”
Off-screen, Will has been married to Molly for two years, and they share two adorable dogs.
Rachel Bay Jones as Audrey McAllister
Rachel Bay Jones brings complexity to Audrey, Mandy’s mom. From passive-aggressive remarks about Georgie to her complicated relationship with Mandy, Audrey is bound to stir drama—and laughs.
“CeCe might be dumb like her dad,” she once said in the show. Yikes!
Rachel is an award-winning Broadway star, known for her role in Dear Evan Hansen. In real life, she’s in a long-term relationship with actor Benim Foster, and they have a daughter, Miranda.
Who Plays Connor Now? A Recast You Might Have Missed
Remember Mandy’s younger brother Connor? Originally portrayed by Joseph Apollonio in Young Sheldon, the character is now played by 27-year-old Dougie Baldwin. Why the change?
Series creator Chuck Lorre often recasts actors he’s worked with before. Baldwin, who previously appeared in Disjointed, fits the bill perfectly. While he hasn’t spoken about the role yet, fans are eager to see his take.
What’s Next for the Spin-Off?
With Annie Potts (Meemaw) returning and possible cameos from other Young Sheldon and Big Bang characters, Georgie and Mandy’s First Marriage is a promising continuation of a beloved TV legacy.
