Booked, Busy and Loving Life

Emily Osment has grown up in front of our eyes in wide-ranging roles from Disney's Hannah Montana to the feelgood sitcom Young & Hungry and the award-winning dramedy The Kominsky Method. Now the 33-year-old actress is in a place in her life where she continues to push herself by choosing projects that bring her joy — starting with Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage (Thursdays, 8 p.m. on CBS). “It’s a show where I’m so proud of what we’re doing,” Osment, who plays Mandy in the Young Sheldon spinoff, tells Us. “It’s working because I’m having a lot of fun, and if it’s not fun, then it’s not working. I look for stuff that enriches my personal life.” She’s kept her calendar full off screen as well — and that’s exactly how she likes it. “I have a lot of interests, and I don’t have a lot of time. So the spare time that I do have is filled,” Osment says. “It’s busy, and I’m grateful for that.”

What can you tease about season 2 of Georgie & Mandy?

It does get better and better with every episode. It’s a reflection of our writers knowing these characters so well for so long through Young Sheldon and now through this. Getting to hyperfocus on Georgie and Mandy and learning a little bit more about what makes them tick, what makes them mad, what keeps the marriage together and what could potentially make a marriage fall apart.
