It’s been no secret that some of the Young Sheldon cast are returning to the Georgie and Mandy spinoff, but now a behind-the-scenes snap has confirmed our favorite nosey neighbor is joining them.
Filming onGeorgie and Mandy’s First Marriageis well underway, and for fans who still aren’t over theSeason 7 ending, it’s good news – more of the Coopers are returning.
Last month, it wasconfirmedAnnie Potts (Meemaw), Zoe Perry (Mary), and Raegan Revord (Missy) would be starring in the new TV show’s first two episodes, with it still up in the air if Sheldon would cameo. However, Iain Armitage was spotted at filming, along with Melissa Peterman (Brenda).
A few weeks later, we have some answers. WhileSheldon doesn’t appear to be returning– he was just there for support – nosy neighbor Brenda will indeed be seen on camera.
This was confirmed by Potts’ Instagrampost, with the caption reading, “My besties @rachelbayjones and @melissapeterman from @youngsheldoncbs in the WB rose garden on lunch break from Georgie and Mandy’s First Marriage!”
While nothing has been publicly confirmed, common sense would tell us that Brenda will be starring in the same episodes as the rest of the formerYoung Sheldon cast.
Despite this, we know Georgie and Mandy’s Marriage will stay set in Medford, meaning there’s every chance Brenda will be spotted in the background here and there.
When we last saw Brenda, she was trying to flirt with George’s former colleagues inSeason 7 Episode 13, having seemingly takenGeorge’s deathquite well.
Off-screen, fans know Peterman has been busy filming a sitcom pilot with former co-starReba McEntirefor NBC, titled Happy’s Place.
