Missy Actor Reflects On 7-Year Young Sheldon Journey As The Show Nears Its Series Finale (2024)

Raegan Revord looks back on her seven-year stint playing Missy on Young Sheldon, as it nears its finale. Production for Young Sheldon has already wrapped, but it doesn't mean that the tributes have already stopped. After the initial announcement that filming has finished for the show, more cast and crew shared their sentiments about the bittersweet ending of Young Sheldon. Admittedly, The Big Bang Theory prequel could have continued for several more years, but the established continuity forced CBS to conclude it.

Taking it to her official Instagram account, Revord shares a string of images from her time playing Missy in Young Sheldon with a poignant message. Check out the post below:

Revord's photos are a mix of old and more recent snaps from the set of Young Sheldon. In her caption, she emphasizes how much she has grown in the last seven years on the show, and that she will be forever grateful for the experience.

Will Revord Play Missy Again In Young Sheldon’s Sequel Series?

Georgie & Mandy's Spinoff Will Continue Young Sheldon's Storytelling.

For the longest time, Missy was Young Sheldon's best character, even though she was mostly sidelined. That has somehow changed as the show builds up Georgie ahead of his spinoff sequel with Mandy, but it doesn't mean that his sister has lost all of her appeal. It's still there, but the prequel hasn't given her the chance to showcase her positive traits since it has been focused on other storylines. Unfortunately, time is running out for Young Sheldon to fully utilize Missy, considering that the family comedy/drama now only has a handful of episodes left.

Despite Revord's impressive performance as Missy, the writers chose not to bring her back for Georgie and Mandy's spinoff show. The actor revealed that she wasn't invited to partake in the Young Sheldon spinoff project, although she didn't share any additional details as to why that's the case. However, it doesn't seem like anyone else from Young Sheldon's core cast will be in the new show aside from Georgie and Mandy. Missy and the remaining Coopers may appear as guest stars, but it is unlikely that they become series regulars.

Assuming that Revord's story as Missy ends in Young Sheldon, things are not easy for her from here on out. George's death will have a massive impact on her, especially since she is particularly close to her dad. Hopefully, however, the series can show how much that loss shapes her future in The Big Bang Theory since she becomes the least successful Cooper sibling despite her potential.
