Potential Young Sheldon Spinoff: One “Unhinged” Reason It Could Be Successful

Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage is nearly upon us, but it’s not the only Young Sheldon spinoff that fans desire. Actor Lance Barber believes that a Younger George series could be compelling for an “unhinged” reason.

With the conclusion of George Cooper’s storyline in the Season 7 finale, it might seem like his narrative has reached its end. We can expect references to him in Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage, yet there’s a different Young Sheldon spinoff that fans envisioned long before this announcement.

Many fans, as discussed in Reddit threads, hoped for a spinoff focusing on Young George and Mary. Each season of Young Sheldon unraveled their fascinating backstory, leading to Georgie’s birth. Additionally, Georgie has mirrored his parents’ history by becoming a young father himself.

According to actor Lance Barber, one reason a George and Mary spinoff would be particularly captivating is Mary’s allegedly “unhinged” behavior during her youth.

Barber remarked, “To make such a turn, to seek such redemption… she must have done something that she was looking to find forgiveness for.”

Fans might recall the striking hallucination of a more carefree Mary (you can view it below), but Meemaw’s anecdotes provide an even clearer narrative.

Throughout the series, Meemaw portrays Mary as a rebellious teenager, smoking and indulging in whatever she pleased while Meemaw was away. Mary hints at being enticed by George’s motorcycle during her teenage years, which led to her becoming pregnant with Georgie at a young age.

When she encounters Youth Pastor Rob at the bowling alley, she informs him that Mary babysat her as a child but allowed her to do as she wished while Mary “made out with her boyfriend.”

In present-day, it’s evident that Mary wants to keep her past under wraps, which is why little has been revealed about it.

Given that the series has concluded, Barber agrees that exploring a Young Sheldon spinoff focused on their relationship would be “fascinating.”

He elaborated, “If it ever happened, Zoe [Perry] and I would certainly be intrigued to see how it would unfold. It’s a captivating beginning to their relationship, one that resonates with many, potentially even today. He was significantly older than her, and they found themselves pregnant out of wedlock. This situation compelled the marriage.

“Ultimately, they were a family up until George’s passing. This narrative isn’t an uncommon tale of how families begin, but it would be immensely enjoyable to delve into.”

As of now, CBS and the creative team have not confirmed any additional Young Sheldon spinoffs. Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage premieres on October 17.
