HBO Max just dropped some exciting news about a new spinoff from “The Big Bang Theory” that’s headed our way. The series, titled “Stuart Fails to Save the Universe,” has officially received a green light, according to a press release from HBO Max.

Fans of the original show will be thrilled to know that this spinoff is being developed by Chuck Lorre, one of the co-creators of “The Big Bang Theory,” along with Zak Penn. The story follows comic book store owner Stuart Bloom as he tries to fix a device created by Sheldon and Leonard that accidentally triggers a multiverse crisis. Stuart enlists the help of his girlfriend Denise, geologist friend Bert, and quantum physicist Barry Kripke in a quest to put things right. The logline promises encounters with alternate-universe versions of familiar characters from the original series, all while things spiral out of control.

The cast is set to include Kevin Sussman reprising his role as Stuart, alongside Lauren Lupkus, John Ross Bowie, and Brian Posehn playing Denise, Barry Kripke, and Bert, respectively. Given the mention of Leonard and Sheldon in the logline, it’s possible that other characters from “The Big Bang Theory” might make unexpected appearances in this new series.

According to Bill Prady, another executive producer on the show, this spinoff will deliver a blend of complex science fiction and mythology that will resonate with fans of the original characters. He promises that the show will bring joy to viewers as they dive into this exciting new adventure.
