The Cooper family will see a familiar face return! Lance Barber, who played George Cooper Sr., is reprising his role in Episode 18 of the show’s second season.
The next episode of Young Sheldon will bring back several familiar faces, including Raegan Revord (Missy), Zoe Perry (Mary), Doc Farrow (Wayne), Matthew Letscher (Fred Fagenbacher), and Rex Linn (Principal Petersen). They’ll be joining Montana Jordan (Georgie) and Emily Osment (Mandy). The cast celebrated the reunion by creating a fun TikTok video, which Revord, Jordan, and Barber shared online.
This marks the second time actor Jim Barber has played George Cooper Sr., previously appearing in Season 1 of Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage. His initial return was unexpected, given that his character died on Young Sheldon. This time, however, his involvement in Season 2 was announced by Entertainment Weekly some time ago, though the specifics of how he’s back remain a secret.
Everyone on set is delighted to have Barber back, and Jordan has said it was wonderful reuniting with the cast. He explained that they always enjoy having members of the ‘Cooper family’ return, because the cast and crew had a close, familial atmosphere both on the original show and on this one.
