Anyone who misses Sheldon’s dad will be able to get a quick fix this season on Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage. Lance Barber, who played George Sr. for seven seasons on Young Sheldon, is expected to reprise his role sometime this season.

TV Insider was on the scene and, following the Q&A panel, chatted up executive producer Steve Holland about Barber’s return, who else from Young Sheldon might appear again and/or next on Georgie & Mandy, and why established lore from Big Bang doesn’t tie creative hands as much as one might think!

Tune in to “ Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage ” on Thursday, Jan. 30, at 8 p.m. ET on CBS. Watch the series for free with a trial on Paramount+, Fubo or DIRECTV Stream.
