The Young Sheldon cast learned in a November 2023 Zoom call that the hit CBS show would end after seven seasons. About 10 minutes later, producers called Montana Jordan and Emily Osment, who played Georgie and Mandy, to pitch them a spin-off. Jessica Radloff's new book tells the story.
The producers told nobody else about that second call. Only the pair landed starring roles in the new series. Others in the cast later learned about the spin-off through industry gossip when they returned for the final season. Raegan Revord's mother, Holly, said, 'It just didn't feel like they cared.'
