CBS execs took the hint.

Summary:

  • It’s official: The Big Bang Theory is getting another spinoff.
  • The new show will be about Young Sheldon ’s Georgie and Mandy.
  • Fans of the show are happy about the choice of the premise, but there’s a catch.

Viewers all over the world have been in love with the friend group of nerd scientists ever since The Big Bang Theory season 1 was released in 2007. The show about the daily lives of Leonard, Raj, Howard and Sheldon, and their not-so-nerdy friend Penny quickly turned into a hit, and the characters became extremely popular.

Throughout the series, many other important characters were added, such as Amy and Bernadette, but no one would argue that the focus was always on Sheldon, the most eccentric character of all.

The quirky genius became a fan favorite in no time, and because the show used the character's backstory a lot, mainly for comedic relief or just to let us get to know Sheldon better, viewers became really interested in what he was like as a child. So in 2017, the spinoff series Young Sheldon was created even before the final season of the original show was released.

The show ended up being extremely popular. The main reason is of course the young Sheldon himself, but it turned out that the other members of the Cooper family were also interesting for the audience. Fans were especially curious about the lives of his older brother Georgie and his girlfriend Mandy.

The final season of Young Sheldon will air on February 15, so fans have been wondering if the Coopers' lives will be cut short after that.

What Will the New TBBT Spinoff Be About?

Well, it has finally been revealed that the Young Sheldon universe will continue to be explored as a new spinoff of TBBT, focusing on Georgie and Mandy as they become parents.

Needless to say, after witnessing their daily shenanigans for so many years now, the fans are really happy to hear the news.

“This makes the most sense as far as continuing the family’s story, since Sheldon will be moving to California. We’ll get to see the aftermath of George’s death in Texas and how the family navigates their grief and moves forward. I’m definitely interested,” Redditor Bullseyesbabymama said.

However, there are still some fans who are not quite in love with the premise of the new show because the main couple is known for not being an endgame after all.

“I don't mind Georgie and Mandy but knowing they aren't really end game kind of made me lose interest in the show all together. This is coming from someone who loves both Young Sheldon and TBBT,” Redditor escorpius said.

Well, they're not wrong, but the show is still in the works and we can't be sure what it will bring us. Maybe the writers find a way to surprise the fans somehow? Until then, you can always binge Young Sheldon on Netflix.
