Speaking to PEOPLE magazine at PaleyFest 2024, Osment revealed that she looks forward to this series as The Big Bang Theory and its prequel spinoff Yong Sheldon have barely scratched the surface of the relationship between Mandy and George. The upcoming spinoff, which remains untitled as of now, will focus on how the couple raises a family in Texas “while navigating the challenges of adulthood, parenting, and marriage.” Osment exclusively said that the writing of the screenplay is in process, and the shooting is to begin this summer. 

Young Sheldon recently concluded in an episode that the two had finally wed. Osment reflects on the episode, revealing that Mandy had specks of doubt about if she should choose this life ultimately. “It's hinted in the marriage episode that [Mandy] wants to go back to school, that she maybe wants to have a career, that she doesn't want to just be a stay-at-home mom, which is how I feel,” she notes, further adding that it is tough for mothers to also be working, and is excited to know where the show leads with that plotline.
