Young Sheldon had some mystical arcs, such as the appearance of Pimple and Pus. For the most part, however, its storytelling was
mostly grounded, which worked well in its family comedy-drama approach. Meanwhile, The Big Bang Theory had more
fantastical elements, which were partly motivated by its core characters being big fans of nerdy topics. Its more lighthearted
narrative that came with its multi-cam set-up also played in the matter — something that Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage can follow, considering that it has the same format.
To separate itself from Young Sheldon, Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage will be a multi-cam sitcom, like Lorre and Bill Prady’s original series. This makes it easier to be more creative with its storytelling, hence paving the way for the proposed George appearance. Hope’s post-Arthur Jeffries death appearance in The Big Bang Theory is a great blueprint for all the narratives that they can do with Barber’s potential comeback as George.
Ahead of its premiere, Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage officially confirms who the primary antagonist is in the upcoming Young Sheldon sequel.

Barber Is Beloved As George, So Why Not?
Just because they can, doesn’t always mean that they should, however. Sometimes, it’s best to move forward for sequels and not look back. This way, they can establish themselves separately from their parent series. This was what Young Sheldon did during its middle seasons, hence why it got its own identity not tied to The Big Bang Theory. While it was the franchise canon that forced its end, it’s safe to say that it’s now better known for the Coopers rather than being just a prequel
That being said, it shouldn’t hurt Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage to bring back Barber as Georgie. If anything, it may even help the project establish itself as Young Sheldon‘s sequel. The new show already brings back Mary and Meemaw, at least in the first episode. That said, Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage recently expanded Missy’s role —an indication that it wants to take advantage of its connection to its parent series. Sheldon will inevitably find himself back on the show when he returns to Texas, but while that needs careful set-up, George’s vision appearance can happen anytime.
