Matt Hobby will reprise his role as Pastor Jeff in a February episode of Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage. According to TVLine, Jeff comes in to play mediator after Mary (Zoe Perry) and Audrey (Rachel Bay Jones) when they start to compete for their granddaughter’s love.

Holland teased the “really fun episode,” adding, “When we were breaking that story, it also seemed like a great chance to bring Matt Hobby back. It was so much fun to have him, and so much fun to put [those characters] in front of an audience and get a little Pastor Jeff sprinkled in our lives again.”

Jones expressed her hope that actors from The Big Bang Theory franchise continue to show interest in returning on screen.
“If Meemaw and Audrey could get into it, that would make me really happy because I love Annie Potts more than almost anyone on this planet,” she continued. “It would be really fun to continue to play with her.
