Chris is a Senior News Writer for Collider. He can be found in an IMAX screen, with his eyes watering and his ears bleeding for his own pleasure. He joined the news team in 2022 and accidentally fell upwards into a senior position despite his best efforts.

For reasons unknown, he enjoys analyzing box office receipts, giant sharks, and has become known as the go-to man for all things BoschMission: Impossible and Christopher Nolan in Collider's news division. Recently, he found himself yeehawing along to the Dutton saga on the Yellowstone Ranch. 

He is proficient in sarcasm, wit, Photoshop and working unfeasibly long hours. Amongst his passions sit the likes of the history of the Walt Disney Company, the construction of theme parks, steam trains and binge-watching Gilmore Girls with a coffee that is just hot enough to scald him.

His obsession with the Apple TV+ series Silo is the subject of mockery within the Senior News channel, where his feelings about Taylor Sheridan's work are enough to make his fellow writers roll their eyes.

Bazinga? During its mid-season hiatus, the network confirmed that Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage has been renewed for Season 3, locking in the Young Sheldon spin-off as part of CBS’ 2026–2027 broadcast slate. The renewal comes as part of a wider batch of pickups that included Tracker, Matlock, Elsbeth, Fire Country, multiple NCIS entries, Survivor, and The Amazing Race.

On paper, Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage always felt like a gamble. Unlike Young Sheldon, it ditched the single-camera style and returned to the multi-cam format of The Big Bang Theory. It also centered on characters who were supporting players for most of their previous run — and its title openly spoiled that things don’t exactly end happily ever after, but it worked.

Freed from Sheldon’s gravitational pull, Montana Jordan and Emily Osment proved they could easily carry a show on their own. Their chemistry — already a highlight in Young Sheldon’s later seasons — became the spine of the series. Even early red flags smoothed out over time: Rachel Bay Jones’ Audrey softened, Will Sasso’ Jim found a sweet spot between supportive and exhausted, and the addition of Connor (Dougie Baldwin) added a genuinely smart wildcard to the mix.
