As previously reported, feature writer Zak Penn (The Avengers, Ready Player One, Free Guy) will pen the script with original series co-creators Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady. The potential offshoot, which has not yet received a formal pilot order, would be the fourth entry in the TBBT universe, following The Big Bang Theory (2007-2019, streaming on Max), prequel series Young Sheldon (2017-2024, streaming on Max and Netflix), and Young Sheldon spinoff Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage (2024-, airing on CBS and streaming on Paramount+).

Though plot details remain under wraps, there's reason to be excited. After all, when Lorre told TVLine in 2019 that a solid spinoff conceit failed to materialize before The Big Bang Theory wrapped production, he explained that 'unless there was a creative reason to do it — a wonderfully, wonderfully creative reason to do it — than the only reason [to do it] is economics, and that's not good enough.' That leads us to believe that the sitcom titan has a pretty spectacular idea up his sleeve — and now we know who it will involve.
Our sister site Deadline was first to report Bowie's casting.

5 best movies like 'Night Always Comes'
Netflix's No. 1 spot may still belong to the phenomenon that is "KPop Demon Hunters," but the streaming service's propulsive new thriller "Night Always Comes" has nevertheless managed to make a strong impression. Within days of its Netflix premiere, Benjamin Caron's hard-hitting crime thriller has shot to the No. 2 spot in Netflix's top 10 movies list. The movie, essentially, is a survival story. We follow Lynette ("The Fantastic Four: First Steps" star Vanessa Kirby), an occasionally reckless young woman who spends one stressful evening trying desperately to secure enough money to save her family home in Portland, Oregon. Despite breaking into the most-watched list, "Night Always Comes" has landed mixed reviews from both critics and fellow viewers. While I found it to be a fairly compelling (if bleak) watch, others aren't so sure: it's currently earned a 56% critics' score and an even lower 45% from audience members on Rotten Tomatoes. If you've already streamed "Night Always Comes" — or the mixed reception has put you off, but you're still looking for a thriller to watch — here's a round-up of movies like "Night Always Comes" that you may want to stream next, and where you can watch them. I'm kicking off this list with another intense thriller that plays out across one evening: Michael Mann's "Collateral." We're introduced to LA cab driver, Max (Jamie Foxx), whose night veers wildly off-course when sharply-dressed Vincent (Tom Cruise) hitches a ride. His new customer is a hit man who wants Max to ferry him from job to job, and when Max clocks what's really going on, he attempts to stop Vincent from finishing his current job — all while trying to avoid ending up becoming Vincent's next victim himself. Watch "Collateral" on Paramount Plus now Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Nicolas Winding Refn's slick Ryan Gosling thriller "Drive" is a violent action thriller (with one hell of a soundtrack) that's more than worthy of your precious streaming time. It follows Driver (Gosling), a skilled stuntman with skills behind the wheel who moonlights as a getaway driver for the city's criminals: Give him a time and place, you get him for five minutes, and he'll get you where you need to be, safely. Trouble brews when a heist goes south, putting the Driver — and Irene (Carey Mulligan), the neighbor he's fallen for and her young son — in the crosshairs of some very dangerous people, and forcing him to go on the offensive. Watch "Drive" on Philo now Joel Schumacher's "Falling Down" is a tense, comic thriller about Bill Foster (Michael Douglas), a disgruntled man who bristles against the mounting frustrations of everyday life. On the day we join him, Bill faces one too many minor annoyances, and something inside finally snaps. He abandons his car in gridlock traffic and sets off on a violent trek across Los Angeles, lashing at anyone who gets in his way. Meanwhile, police sergeant Martin Prendergast (Robert Duvall) spends his final day of service in hot pursuit, trying to find and stop Bill Foster as his spree rages on. Buy/rent "Falling Down" on Prime Video now If you read my initial reaction to "Night Always Comes," you'll know that I couldn't stop thinking about "Good Time" the entire time I was watching Netflix's new movie. That's because these two taut, neon-lit crime thrillers make for great companion features. In this sprawling thriller, small-time crook Connie Nikas (Robert Pattinson) is forced into action after a botched bank heist ends with his younger brother Nick (Benny Safdie) behind bars. manipulative Connie then embarks on a long and violent journey through New York City's criminal underbelly, trying to secure enough cash to bail him, on a night that just keeps getting worse. Watch with Cinemax or buy/rent "Good Time" on Prime Video now On the surface, "One Of Them Days" might seem a slightly odd choice to follow "Night Always Comes." Lawrence Lamont's buddy comedy isn't exactly a taut, gritty thriller. But it is another movie that plays out over just one day that spirals way out of hand, and could make for a breezy follow-up to the intense Netflix original. In this hilarious comedy camper, we follow Dreux (Keke Palmer) and Alyssa (SZA) as they scramble to avoid eviction... because Alyssa's boyfriend (Joshua David Neal) has run off with their money. Cue a chaotic race against the clock to gather enough cash and survive with their friendship intact. Watch "One of Them Days" on Netflix now Not seeing anything you want to stream?

Siddhant Chaturvedi and Max Fashion Make an Iconic Debut That Breaks the Internet
Max Fashion , one of India's leading multinational fashion brands, makes a historic shift by naming its first-ever male brand ambassador: actor and cultural trendsetter Siddhant Chaturvedi. Business Wire India Max Fashion , one of India's leading multinational fashion brands, makes a historic shift by naming its first-ever male brand ambassador: actor and cultural trendsetter Siddhant Chaturvedi. The new campaign, 'How New Is Your New?', is fronted by actor and cultural trendsetter Siddhant Chaturvedi. Known for his effortless style and ability to connect with a generation that values both individuality and cultural edge, Siddhant perfectly embodies the energy and edge that Max stands for. This collaboration is more than a seasonal campaign, it's a statement of intent. Max brings fashion inspiration to millions, with fresh styles arriving every single week, keeping pace with how quickly trends evolve and personal style transforms. Beyond Siddhant's mass appeal and Gen Z connect, he brings an edge that aligns with young Indians who live at the intersection of music, movement, and style. With Kalki Koechlin, Alaya F, and now Siddhant Chaturvedi in the mix, the brand has assembled a trio that speaks to the layered, lived-in, and scroll-savvy side of modern India. Kalki brings depth and individuality, Alaya channels the fearless energy of Gen Z, and Siddhant adds a fresh, young ease to the equation. Together, they mirror a generation that can move from a coffee run to a red carpet, from tradition to trend, with equal confidence. A Brand-New Max for a Brand-New India This campaign is more than a creative refresh. It's Max rewriting its own rules. With Siddhant as the face of the brand, Max is signalling a shift in both energy and intent. It's younger. It's sharper. 'Style today is about evolution, I'm not the same guy on set, at the gym, or hanging out with friends,' says Siddhant Chaturvedi. "'How New Is Your New?' makes you think about that shift, and Max captures it perfectly with collections that keep up with you, not the other way around. Fashion now is like your feed, it keeps evolving and Max has that scroll factor, with something new for every version of you.' The 'How New Is Your New?' is designed for activities that stretches from on-point athleisure to weekend escapes, Max's latest drop makes everyday dressing an act of self-expression. 'Our partnership with Siddhant is a natural fit,' says Sumit Chandna, Deputy CEO of Max Fashion. 'He represents a confident, creative, and forward-moving India, the same qualities we celebrate in our customers. 'How New Is Your New?' is our way of giving them the freedom to reinvent their look as often as they want, with fresh styles curated specially for them every week.' Max taps into a core truth: the most powerful stories don't dictate identity; they mirror the evolution already underway.
