Who Are New ‘Georgie and Mandy’s 1st Marriage’ Characters? Plus, Stars ‘Big Bang Theory’ Fans Know

Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage reintroduces viewers to characters from Young Sheldon while bringing in some new faces as well.

The Big Bang Theory, which aired from 2007 to 2019, starred Jim Parsons (Sheldon Cooper), Kaley Cuoco (Penny Teller), Johnny Galecki (Leonard Hofstadter), Simon Helberg (Howard Wolowitz), Kunal Nayyar (Raj Koothrappali), Mayim Bialik (Amy Farrah Fowler) and Melissa Rauch (Bernadette Rostenkowski) as a group of friends made up of scientists and their significant others.

In response to the show’s success, CBS orders Young Sheldon as a prequel to The Big Bang Theory. Young Sheldon followed Sheldon (Iain Armitage) as a child prodigy growing up in Texas. Fans met Sheldon’s brother Georgie (Montana Jordan) and subsequently got invested in his love story with Mandy (Emily Osment).

Young Sheldon came to an end in 2024 — but the franchise continued to expand. Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage, which premieres in October, follows the couple as they balance marriage and parenthood after moving in with Mandy’s parents.
