Young Sheldon's Lance Barber to Reprise George Sr. on Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage — But How?
Victorious Sequel Series, Starring Daniella Monet, in Development at Nickelodeon
As previously reported, feature writer Zak Penn (The Avengers, Ready Player One, Free Guy) will pen the script with original series co-creators Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady. The potential offshoot, which has not yet received a formal pilot order, would be the fourth entry in the TBBT universe, following The Big Bang Theory (2007-2019, streaming on Max), prequel series Young Sheldon (2017-2024, streaming on Max and Netflix), and Young Sheldon spinoff Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage (2024-, airing on CBS and streaming on Paramount+).

Though plot details remain under wraps, there's reason to be excited. After all, when Lorre told TVLine in 2019 that a solid spinoff conceit failed to materialize before The Big Bang Theory wrapped production, he explained that 'unless there was a creative reason to do it — a wonderfully, wonderfully creative reason to do it — than the only reason [to do it] is economics, and that's not good enough.' That leads us to believe that the sitcom titan has a pretty spectacular idea up his sleeve — and now we know who it will involve.
Our sister site Deadline was first to report Bowie's casting.

Bryan Cranston Raves About Daughter Taylor Dearden's Performance on 'The Pitt': I'm 'Over the Moon'
Bryan Cranston said there's "nothing" better than hearing praise for his daughter Taylor Dearden's star turn on The Pitt The Breaking Bad alum also revealed if he, as an award-winning actor, has given Dearden any advice Dearden plays Dr. Melissa "Mel" King on the hit medical drama, which has already been renewed for a second seasonBryan Cranston is one proud dad. The Breaking Bad actor, 69, can't help but boast about his 32-year-old daughter Taylor Dearden's breakthrough performance as Dr. Melissa "Mel" King on The Pitt. "There is nothing that's more gratifying than when your kid receives praise. Nothing," Cranston told the Associated Press of what he and longtime wife Robin Dearden, a fellow actor, think of their daughter's latest role. "No one can say anything to me that's better than that." "Her mom and I are just over the moon with her work on it," he added. "She's a very hard-working person. She grew up in it, so it's in her bones," Cranston gushed about Dearden's passion. "She's in it for the right reasons and she loves it." Having a dad who has won six Emmys, two Golden Globes and two Tonys — just to name a few of his accolades — is surely a boon for Dearden, but Cranston said he's not one to overbearingly offer tips. "Now, as far as advice, I think she picks up it because I'm her dad," he said. "She picks up advice hopefully by the way I behave in this business and navigate my way through." He added, "But I don't ever say, 'Now, young lady, here's some advice I wanna give you.' Kids don't wanna hear that." Dearden made her acting debut in a 2010 episode of Breaking Bad alongside her dad. She then went on to star on the MTV series Sweet/Vicious as Ophelia opposite Eliza Bennett's Jules. The show only aired for one season between 2016 and 2017. Elsewhere on TV, she has starred on season 2 of Netflix's American Vandal in 2018 and had a stint on Apple TV+'s For All Mankind before finding her way to The Pitt. In film, Dearden most notably starred in 2017's Heartthrob and 2020's The Last Champion. Dearden plays Dr. Melissa King on The Pitt, though most of her colleagues at Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Hospital call her Mel. Dr. King, a second-year resident, works closely alongside doctors like Dr. Frank Langdon (Patrick Ball) and Dr. Michael "Robby" Robinavitch (Noah Wyle) and looks after her autistic twin sister, Becca. Also in the cast are Tracey Ifeachor (Dr. Collins), Katherine LaNasa (Dana Evans), Supriya Ganesh (Dr. Mohan), Fiona Dourif (Dr. McKay), Isa Briones (Dr. Santos), Gerran Howell (Whitaker) and Shabana Azeez (Javadi). The Pitt, which wrapped its lauded first season on Max in April, has already been renewed for a second season. In the meantime, season 1 can be streamed in full on Max.
