Emily Osment Is Trying To Bring The Adult Georgie Actor To The Young Sheldon Sequel

As the cast and crew prepare to return to the set for production, Osment reveals that she’s working ot getJerry O’Connell to play adult Georgie inGeorgie & Mandy’s First Marriage, especially since their paths always cross in Los Angeles. This shouldn’t be a problem, considering thatYoung Sheldonhad set the precedent with regard to adult Georgie’s proposed role. In any case, O’Connell has also expressed his desire to return toThe Big Bang Theoryfranchise years after he appeared in the nerd-centric sitcom.

Like Jim Parsons' older Sheldon, O’Connell can be the narrator of the upcoming spinoff, with a potential cameo at the end of the series. This allowsGeorgie & Mandy’s First Marriagea direct line toThe Big Bang Theory.

Older Georgie As A Narrator Creates A Problem For The Big Bang Theory’s New Spinoff

The Big Bang Theory Didn’t Introduce An Older Mandy

Bringing adult Georgie from the future would have some great benefits forGeorgie & Mandy’s First Marriage. For starters, it would establish some kind of tradition for narratives that take place at that point inThe Big Bang Theorytimeline. In theYoung Sheldonfinale, it was revealed that adult Sheldon is working on his memoir, hence why he’s reminiscing on his childhood. Since Georgie ends up being a successful business owner, he may also be working on something similar, which would explain why he’s looking back on his first marriage with Mandy.

However, making adult Georgie the narrator forGeorgie & Mandy’s First Marriageeffectively makes him the only titular character of the show, which would beunfair to Mandy. If the events of theYoung Sheldonsequel only come from one perspective, its storytelling could be biased towards one party, which would be limiting to the kind of stories that it can tell.Adding Mandy’s point-of-view would be important, but since she never appeared inThe Big Bang Theory, there’s no actor who can step into the role of adult Mandy to provide her side of the narration.

The Young Sheldon Sequel Series Needs An Older Mandy Narrator

Luckily forGeorgie & Mandy’s First Marriage, there’s a simple way to tackle this issue. Firstly, cast someone older to play the role of Mandy from the future. Lorre and his team can also use this as a new mystery that would get people invested if theYoung Sheldonfollow-up doesn’t reveal beforehand who is voicing the older version of Osment’s character.

Regardless of how they want to do it, making sure that Mandy is well-represented in terms of framing her and Georgie’s first marriage is important to ensure that it has a different approach to voiceovers than its parent show.
