Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage deals with the ups and downs of married life, but in this instance we know the union ends in divorce. Exactly when that happens is currently a mystery, but showrunner Steve Holland has been teasing what’s to come.

Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage is a sitcom that plays out between the events of Young Sheldon and The Big Bang Theory.

But much like there was tragedy afoot in Young Sheldon – where the audience knew that George Sr. would die – so Georgie & Mandy is potentially building towards disaster, as that marriage doesn’t survive.

At present however, no one knows the exact details of their break-up, so when, where, and how it happens remains a mystery. One that the show’s creator believes is a good thing.

Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage creator calls divorce “a sword hanging over relationship”

When asked if he knows when Georgie & Mandy will divorce, showrunner Steve Holland tells Deadline: “I don’t. I think it’s good. We know some things that are floating out there.

“It’s not like how it was with Young Sheldon. We knew when George Sr. died. It was when Sheldon was 14 before he went to Cal Tech. We know some things that are going to happen in the story of Georgie, but we don’t know when.”

Holland says of the ambiguity: “That gives us a lot of freedom to sort our way through and find a way to get those points in a way that will feel natural and surprising.

“The fact that you know it’s gonna happen is a like a sword hanging over their relationship. You don’t know when, but you know at some point it’s gonna drop.”
