The Young Sheldon cameos just keep coming on The Big Bang Theory‘s newest spinoff, Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage.
Matt Hobby will reprise his role as Pastor Jeff in a February episode of Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage. According to TVLine, Jeff comes in to play mediator after Mary (Zoe Perry) and Audrey (Rachel Bay Jones) when they start to compete for their granddaughter’s love.
“I don’t know that he’s doing great, but he’s certainly trying to [mediate],” cocreator Steve Holland told the outlet on Wednesday, December 4. “Mary and Audrey butt heads, they don’t see eye to eye, and that’s a fun thing we haven’t gotten to explore.”
Holland teased the “really fun episode,” adding, “When we were breaking that story, it also seemed like a great chance to bring Matt Hobby back. It was so much fun to have him, and so much fun to put [those characters] in front of an audience and get a little Pastor Jeff sprinkled in our lives again.”
The Big Bang Theory created a franchise after airing from 2007 to 2019. The series branched out with a prequel titled Young Sheldon, which starred Iain Armitage in the role of a child prodigy growing up in Texas. The universe got even bigger with Sheldon’s older brother, Georgie (Montana Jordan), scoring a spinoff with Mandy (Emily Osment).
Jones, 55, who plays Mandy’s mother on the current CBS series, previously told Us Weekly about Annie Potts and Perry’s multiple appearances in season 1 — including whether there were plans for more returns.
“I love all of them, and they definitely [are] coming back. We just filmed and wrapped the fifth episode, and a bunch of [Young Sheldon] alums were there for that,” she teased in October about Perry and Potts, who play Mary and Meemaw, respectively. “We did a Thanksgiving episode with everybody and it was heaven.”
Jones expressed her hope that actors from The Big Bang Theory franchise continue to show interest in returning on screen.
“If Meemaw and Audrey could get into it, that would make me really happy because I love Annie Potts more than almost anyone on this planet,” she continued. “It would be really fun to continue to play with her. And we are promised their presence since it’s a small town, so you can’t escape all those other inhabitants.”
Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage airs on CBS Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET. Episodes are available to stream on Paramount+ the next day.
