The cast of Young Sheldon is back together again

The Coopers are back together again thanks to the return of their patriarch!
Young Sheldon cast members Lance Barber (George Cooper Sr.), Montana Jordan (Georgie Cooper Jr.), Raegan Revord (Missy Cooper) and Zoe Perry (Mary Cooper) reunited on set of series spinoff Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage — and shared some fun clips of their get-together on social media.
On Tuesday, Feb. 10, Revord posted a video to TikTok also featuring Jordan, 22, and their on-screen dad Barber, 52. In the clip, Revord flips off the camera, before Barber mouths the words "so sorry" and Jordan mouths "no we ain't."
The footage was set to Joan Jett & the Blackhearts' "I Love Rock ’n’ Roll," and Revord, 18, gave it a playful caption. "Family dynamics," they wrote.

In a later video, posted by an Instagram account for the Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage writers, Perry, 42, could also be seen chatting with her on-screen family of Barber, Revord and Jordan.
The writers captioned the footage with a viral audio from Dance Moms ("now I want to sit back and relax and enjoy my evening"), as the camera panned to Barber during the most eventful part of the audio ("when all of a sudden, I hear this agitating, grating voice"). The cast laughed off the moment, with Revord commenting "Thank the lord."
While Perry and Revord play recurring characters on Georgie & Mandy, led by Jordan and costar Emily Osment, Barber previously guest starred in the show's first season, despite his character being deceased.
Barber's George Sr. appeared in a scene and spoke with his son and namesake, Georgie. The elder George hasn't had much of a physical presence in the Young Sheldon spinoff, however, given that the character died toward the end of that series — meaning fans will likely only see him in flashbacks and dream sequences.
Still, viewers haven't seen the last of Barber's George, as he'll be back for episode 18 of season 2, according to both TVLine and Entertainment Weekly. Per both outlets, the episode will also feature appearances from Young Sheldon alumni Doc Farrow (Coach Wilkins) and Rex Linn (Principal Petersen).

Jordan previously told EW in October 2025 that it's weird not seeing his on-screen dad on the other end of the dinner table while filming these days. "It always is, man," he said. "Anytime there's not a pile of food on the other end of the table, we know Lance is missing somewhere."
He added, "Anytime that we get to have any of the Cooper family back on set, it's always a blast. We had a great family dynamic behind the scenes on [Sheldon], as we do on this show, so anytime we can bring them back, we're always welcoming them."
Young Sheldon, the spin-off of the Big Bang Theory led by Iain Armitage, ran for seven seasons from 2017 to 2024 on CBS. Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage returns for the back half of season 2 on Feb. 26 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on CBS.
