Young Sheldon concluded with a heartfelt funeral bidding goodbye to Lance Barber's George Cooper. Despite various scenes filmed for the funeral, not all made the final cut. Showrunner Steve Holland discussed the deleted moments in an interview with Entertainment Weekly. Originally, Georgie and Mandy's baby could be heard crying during the funeral. Additionally, a scene involving Sheldon's professors trying to cheer him up with scientific chatter was removed. Holland explained that all cuts were made for the episode’s strength. In the two-part finale of Young Sheldon, the Cooper family deals with grief following a life-altering event.

The story continues with a sequel series titled Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage. Holland noted that while the spinoff was in the works, they didn't want the finale to serve as a pilot for the new show. Young Sheldon star Iain Armitage shared his thoughts on the potential return in the spinoff series. Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage is set to premiere in the fall on CBS.
