Young Sheldon: The Reason Behind Missy's Absence in Georgie & Mandy's Spinoff Revealed

Despite Sheldon's story in Texas reaching its conclusion, the Coopers' adventures in the state will continue. CBS recently confirmed the order for the spinoff, which will serve as a direct extension of The Big Bang Theory prequel, introducing new characters to the audience.

As hinted previously, Missy will not be part of the Georgie and Mandy Young Sheldon spinoff.

How Georgie & Mandy’s Young Sheldon Spinoff Can Explain Missy’s Absence

The Big Bang Theory canon requires Mary and Missy to be part of the story, so Georgie and Mandy's series going in a different direction is quite surprising. It's interesting because the successful Young Sheldon is ending due to its connection to the parent series. Revord doesn't mention why she wasn't included in the new project, even though Missy plays a significant role in Georgie's life in the upcoming years. CBS now faces the challenge of explaining her absence.

One of the simplest ways to achieve this is by creating some distance between Georgie and the Coopers. With Missy not being around, it seems unlikely that other characters like Meemaw and Mary will be part of the Young Sheldon spin-off project. Due to the family's already crowded living situation, the couple may opt to relocate from Medford. They don't necessarily have to leave the state since Georgie's future business is connected to Texas, but they could begin their married life in a completely new town. This would allow the CBS series to introduce a fresh group of characters around the expanding family.

Even though Missy won't be a regular character in Georgie and Mandy's offshoot, it doesn't mean she won't make any appearances at all. It's important to remember that Georgie witnessed Missy's teenage years, which implies they must remain in touch for that to happen. Moreover, given Revord's good rapport with Jordan, it shouldn't be too difficult to convince her to make a cameo appearance.

Young Sheldon season 7 airs new episodes every Thursday, 8pm ET on CBS.

Editor's P/S:

Raegan Revord's absence from the upcoming Young Sheldon spinoff featuring Georgie and Mandy is a curious move, given her significant role in both the prequel and the original Big Bang Theory series. While the exact reason for her exclusion remains unknown, it presents a challenge for CBS to explain Missy's absence in a way that aligns with the established canon.

One possible explanation, as suggested in the article, is that Georgie and Mandy's spinoff will distance itself from the Coopers family, including Missy and possibly Mary. This could be achieved by having them relocate to a new town, allowing the spinoff to introduce a new set of characters. However, it will be interesting to see how CBS handles Missy's absence, considering her importance to Georgie's character and the overall Cooper family dynamics.
