Chuck Lorre's next cancelation of Young Sheldon may seemed like the end of the franchise, but CBS found a way to continue taking advantage of its popularity with the launch of Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage. While technically part of the continuity, it barely has any ties with The Big Bang Theory, leaving those who love the nerd-centric sitcom looking for a new show that could fill the void that the mothership left when it ended.

While none of the original cast will be series regulars in the new show, seeing familiar faces return is a good-enough balance in of offering something familiar while also doing something new. Kevin Sussman will return as Stuart Bloom, with Lauren Lapkus as Denise, Stuart's girlfriend, Brian Posehn's Bert Kibbler, and John Ross Bowie's Barry Kripke. Plot specifics are still scant, but its title offers an idea of what to expect.
