Attention Big Bang Theory fans! A “radical” new spin-off is officially in the works
A Big Bang Theory spin-off titled Stuart Fails to Save the Universe has been confirmed by HBO Max.
Kevin Sussman, taking on the main character once more as Stuart Bloom, will headline the show, joining forces with a number of his former “The Big Bang Theory” cast members such as Lauren Lapkus, Brian Posehn, and John Ross Bowie.
According to Variety, the plot summary playfully hints that the comic book shop owner Stuart Bloom (played by Sussman) must fix a machine created by Sheldon and Leonard, as his unintentional actions have led to a catastrophic event across multiple universes.

In this endeavor, Stuart is supported by his partner Denise (Lapkus), geology companion Bert (Posehn), and the somewhat troublesome Barry Kripke, a quantum physicist (Bowie).
On my gaming journey, I bump into peculiar counterparts of familiar faces from The Big Bang Theory. Just as the title suggests, these encounters don’t exactly turn out peachy.
The creators of the Big Bang Theory, Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady, are collaborating with screenwriter Zak Penn on a new project. In this venture, they will serve as executive producers, alongside Penn.
Pondering over the unique path of the spin-off, Lorre clarified that the series titled “Stuart Fails to Save the Universe” will have a distinctly separate vibe from its original program.
At the Banff World Media Festival in June, he expressed: “There’s an abundance of computer-generated imagery (CGI). There’s a lot of sophisticated technical work that – let me tell you, for my career, a major production was just two people on a couch sipping coffee! This is quite a change.
Lorre explained, “I’m aiming to blend elements from the realms of science fiction/fantasy with comedy.” He added, “I find myself way out of my comfort zone, which is exactly what I was aiming for. I wanted to tackle something entirely new to me, and perhaps pick up a few tricks along the way.
At present, we’re unsure about the start date for the filming, but according to Deadline, the location for shooting is expected to be Los Angeles.
Stuart Fails to Save the Universe has yet to receive a release date.
