A Huge Young Sheldon Reunion Was Announced – But It Might Crush You

A Huge Young Sheldon Reunion Was Announced - But It Might Crush You

As a hardcore fan of “Young Sheldon” and the original “Big Bang Theory”, I can hardly contain my excitement for the upcoming reunion on “George and Mandy’s First Marriage.” However, the prospect of Iain Armitage not making an appearance is like offering me a slice of pie without the cherries – it just doesn’t feel right!

It seems that previews suggested a comeback, but it appears that the first major “Young Sheldon” reunion will occur in the episode titled “George and Mandy’s First Marriage,” earlier than many anticipated. Regrettably, one significant character seems to be absent from the celebrations, and their possible non-appearance may disappoint fans eager for their return.

From a video Annie Potts shared on Instagram, it’s clear that the actor known for portraying Meemaw is filming the first Thanksgiving episode of the spin-off on set. In the same video, Zoe Perry (Mary Cooper) and Raegan Revord (Missy Cooper) are also present. Furthermore, Montana Jordan (Georgie Cooper), Craig T. Nelson (Dale Ballard), Emily Osment (Mandy McAllister), Rachel Bay Jones (Audrey McAllister), and Will Sasso (Jim McAllister) are also visible in the video. Additionally, two new characters to the “Big Bang Theory” universe, Dougie Baldwin (Connor McAllister) and Jessie Prez (Ruben), can be spotted as well.

In the Big Bang Theory universe, Iain Armitage, who portrays young Sheldon Cooper, is notably missing from this episode’s cast. Though it’s hopeful that he might show up later, it seems this gap could signal the start of tension between Georgie and Sheldon, a rift that persists throughout his adolescence and remains unresolved until his adulthood. If the series chooses to ignore this potential conflict, it might create plot inconsistencies, making the events of The Big Bang Theory even more complex. For now, it appears the brothers are steadily moving towards their confrontation.

Although it’s unclear if Armitage will make a brief appearance in this episode, the actor himself has expressed his interest in joining the spin-off series at some future time.

Iain Armitage expressed his enthusiasm about reprising the role of Sheldon Cooper in an interview with TVLine following the finale of “Young Sheldon”. He mentioned that he’d jump at the chance to return, and enjoys watching the show because it’s so well-done. However, since he’s not appearing in Annie Potts’ video, there’s speculation that his cameo might be saved for a later episode of “Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage”. Alternatively, the producers may want to establish a separate identity for “Georgie and Mandy”, which could mean fewer appearances from the “Young Sheldon” cast than viewers might anticipate.

It seems clear that Georgie’s family will not be unfamiliar faces, as Annie Potts, Zoe Perry, and Raegan Revord have all been confirmed to appear in the spin-off’s pilot episode and other episodes throughout the series. To understand how this new show fits into the “Young Sheldon” timeline, make sure to watch the series premiere on October 17.
