What’s in a name?
The team behind upcomingYoung Sheldonspinoff seriesGeorgie & Mandy’s First Marriagewas hoping you would ask.
That title can be read in a couple different ways.

As Mandy herself, a.k.a.
Will their second marriage be to each other?
There’s a lot of questions that are asked when you look at that title."

“I don’t think it will be explored right away.
The two definitely have a lot on their mind.
So there’s a lot on his plate.”

“As we all know, he grows up to be the tire king,” says Jordan.
“So obviously I’d love to explore that a whole lot more.

“This first season we’re transitioning into Georgie and Mandy living with her parents,” explains Osment.
And we see where Mandy gets a little bit of her bite sometimes with Audrey.”
Of course, it’s not just Georgie who has a budding career.
Osment says by episode 2, her character is already looking into job options.
“They need it.
Naturally, all of these plot points mean some familiar faces fromYoung Sheldonwill crop up.
And, of course,Annie Pottsis back again as fan-favorite grandmother, Meemaw.
That’s all they do.
Everybody loves Meemaw, including me.")
As for entirely new faces, Jordan doesn’t hesitate to throw out a pitch of his own.
She could be Mandy’s grandmother or something.
We ain’t got that role yet,” he says.
This is a much more, I think, relatable family show.
These are different characters.
Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriagestarts airing Oct. 17 on CBS.
