Emily Osment is ready for the Young Sheldon spin off, Georgie and Mandy’s first weddingto start filming!
ET spoke with Osment — who will reprise her role as Mandy alongside Montana Jordanwho plays Georgie – at the Baha Mar Resort in the Bahamas, and according to the star, will pick up where Young Sheldon left to the blossoming couple.
“I haven’t actually read anything yet, but we’re starting soon and we’re still in pre-production,” Osment tells ET’s Kevin Frazier and Nischelle Turner. “I assume it’s going to pick up right where we left off, so there’s not a huge gap for our viewers in terms of, like, story or missing us too much. We’re just picking up where we were.”
The spinoff will focus on the young couple as they raise their family in Texas. Unlike Young Sheldonthe series will be filmed in front of a studio audience – which brings Osment back to it Hannah Montana roots.
“Because of COVID, I haven’t done a live audience in a long time,” she says. “And now, you know, four years later, we’re actually able to open it up so we can have a live audience, which is tremendous, and it allows us to have people right there in front of us, so we can, you know, react. , which is always my favorite part. It feels like live theater and it’s fun. Every Tuesday night is like having a party.
Making it even more fun? Osment says Jordan has never done a live recording before, so she’s looking forward to his experience.
“I’m really excited to see how he handles this,” she adds.
While she doesn’t know exactly what direction the show will take, Osment has already thrown Jerry O’Connell’s hat into the ring to return as older Georgie — which she believes will make for some great Easter egg moments.
“I run into Jerry O’Connell so much in my neighborhood, who obviously plays the older Georgie, and I’m trying to figure out how to bring him back somehow. Maybe he’s the narrator,” she jokes. .
In May – before the Young Sheldon Final — ET spoke with Jordan and Osment, who said news of the spinoff helped “ease the emotions” of fans who weren’t ready to say goodbye to the Coopers.
“I’m grateful and blessed that they blessed us with this opportunity,” Jordan said of the spinoff. “It kind of helps take your mind off things a little bit.”
“That’s true, yes,” Osment agreed. “We are lucky in that sense, as we have something sweet to look forward to.”
Georgie and Mandy’s first wedding premieres September 1 on CBS.
