‘The Big Bang Theory' Spinoff Gets Stuart-Centric Title
Stuart Fails To Save The Universe, from Chuck Lorre Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television, extends the trend of every Big Bang Theory spinoff being named after its main character(s), following in the footsteps of Young Sheldon and its offshoot Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage.

It is also is the first title of a Big Bang spinoff that is thematically connected to the moniker of the mothership, The Big Bang Theory, named after a popular theory about the origin of the universe.
On Stuart Fails To Save The Universe, Sussman is joined by fellow Big Bang alums Lauren Lapkus, who plays Kevin's girlfriend Denise, Brian Posehn (Bert Kibbler) and John Ross Bowie (Barry Kripke). Because the series is still awaiting green light, the quartet are not formally cast in it but have talent holding deals with WBTV with the purpose of starring in the spinoff once it's picked up.
The new series is written and executive produced by Chuck Lorre, co-creator, executive producer of Big Bang and all of its spinoffs to date, Zak Penn and Big Bang co-creator Bill Prady.
From the moment the Big Bang spinoff was unveiled in April 2023, there has been speculation that it may revolve around Stuart Bloom (Sussman) and his comic book store. While a reliable source of comic relief, the kind-hearted Stuart also was often lonely and depressed as he strived to belong and be part of the Big Bang gang. Things started looking up for him when he met Denise. He also became close friends with Raj in Season 6 of the mothership series.

My Adventures with Superman Season 3: Latest updates on release date, cast and plot details
By Aman Shukla Published on August 11, 2025, 19:00 IST Last updated August 11, 2025, 12:04 IST If you're into vibrant, anime-style animation with stories that really tug at your heartstrings, My Adventures with Superman has probably got you hooked. After that crazy Season 2 finale, everyone's buzzing and can't wait for Season 3. So, here's the scoop on when it might land, who's coming back, and what kind of adventures we can expect. When's Season 3 Hitting Screens? No official premiere date yet for My Adventures with Superman Season 3, but there's enough chatter to make a solid guess. Season 1 landed in July 2023, and Season 2 came out in May 2024, pointing to a roughly yearly release cycle. With today being August 11, 2025, a spring 2026 premiere—maybe April or May—feels like a safe bet. Word from Jake Wyatt, one of the showrunners, says they're already knee-deep in post-production. The first episode's voice work is wrapped, and more are lined up. This tracks with a 2025 release, though some chatter on X floats the idea of early 2026 if things slow down. Either way, look for it on Adult Swim's Toonami block, with episodes streaming on Max the next day, just like before. Who's Back and Who's New? The voice cast is a big part of why this show pops, and the main crew's coming back strong. Here's the lineup: Jack Quaid as Clark Kent/Superman, rocking that sweet, heroic vibe with a dash of dorkiness. Alice Lee as Lois Lane, the gutsy reporter who's all heart and hustle. Ishmel Sahid as Jimmy Olsen, the goofy sidekick who always steals a laugh. Kiana Madeira as Kara Zor-El/Supergirl, ready to shine big after her Season 2 arc. Max Mittelman as Lex Luthor, now bald and bad, leaning hard into villain mode. Chris Parnell as Slade Wilson/Deathstroke, serving up serious danger. Debra Wilson as Amanda Waller, plotting her next big move. David Errigo Jr. as Mr. Mxyzptlk, the chaos-causing trickster. Catherine Taber as Siobhan McDougal/Silver Banshee, rounding out the bad guys. The big scoop? Superboy is joining the party! Dropped at San Diego Comic-Con 2024, this fan-fave (likely Conner Kent) is set to shake things up. No word yet on his voice actor or exact role, but his arrival's got everyone pumped. What's the Story Going to Be? Season 2's finale, My Adventures with Supergirl , left fans reeling, and Season 3's ready to dive into the fallout. The creators are playing things close to the chest, but here's what's floating around based on hints and fan buzz: Lex Luthor's Big Play Lex is stepping up as the main bad guy, complete with his shiny LexCorp and a shaky team-up with Deathstroke. Jake Wyatt called them 'two snakes in a pit,' each out for themselves. That's gonna make for some spicy showdowns with Superman as Lex flexes his evil genius. Superboy Steals the Spotlight Superboy's debut is a total game-changer. In the comics, he's often a clone tied to Lex or Project Cadmus, but this show loves a fresh spin—maybe he's from another universe or tied to Kryptonian secrets. His story's bound to dig into big questions about who he is, which'll hit home for Clark too. Supergirl's Time to Shine Kara broke free from Brainiac's grip in Season 2 and is now a full-on hero with Clark, Lois, and Jimmy. Season 3's gonna show her kicking butt as Earth's protector while maybe sparking some romance with Jimmy. It'll be a mix of epic fights and real, grounded moments. A Packed Villain Roster On top of Lex and Deathstroke, look out for Cyborg Superman, Amanda Waller, Mr. Mxyzptlk, and Silver Banshee. Cyborg Superman might link to Superboy's origins, given his Kryptonian tech ties. Some fans on X are even betting on nods to bigger DC names like Darkseid or Thanagar, based on Season 2's sneaky hints.

Alison Brie Wants to Make a Return to ‘Scream'
Denzel Washington is keeping quiet about his Black Panther 3 role. David S. Goyer teases the origins of the Blob for its new remake. Plus, the stars of Resident Alien hope for a movie to cap off the series. Spoilers, away!When asked by Screen Rant about his rumored role in Black Panther 3, Denzel Washington only answered, 'That's between me and [director] Ryan [Coogler].' During her recent appearance on the Shut Up Evan podcast (via Deadline), Alison Brie stated she, too, is open to reprising her late character in a new Scream movie but believes the 'core four' characters of the last two films 'need to die' already. I hear tons of people are coming back. … I mean, Hayden [Panettiere] came back in [Scream] 6. Too many people live. The 'core four' needs to die. We killed [Jamie Kennedy's Randy Meeks] in Scream 2. We should be down to two of the 'core four,' just by Scream 7. During a recent interview with Comic Book, David S. Goyer, co-writer of the upcoming Blob remake, stated the titular monster would be 'made in the lab,' the same as it was revealed to be in the 1980s version, though with the added wrinkle of 'AI and gene editing and the slippery slope all that work entails.' One of the decisions we made is instead of the Blob coming from space, it's something that is made in the lab. Speaking of the 1980s Blob, here's an unusual clip from Chuck Russell's upcoming Witchboard remake courtesy of Bloody-Disgusting. A sleepwalker may be host to a demonic entity in the trailer for Dream Eater, a found-footage horror movie coming to theaters this October 24. During a recent interview with TV Line, Chris Sheridan confirmed there's 'definitely' a possibility for future Resident Alien movies at USA. When I got the official call that they weren't going to continue the show, I did ask about that. I asked Michael Sluchan (who's running Versant and heads up the USA folk) if, down the line, a movie of some sort or something, if they'd be open to it. He said yes. They've done a bunch of movies over there. They've done a few Psych movies. They've done a Monk movie. I asked them if they would consider doing one for us and they said definitely. You can't launch a movie next week, but you wait a couple of years and I think the audience will still be there for it. I know very much the cast would love to come back and do something and I would definitely be open to that. The story we set out to tell originally in the pilot, we have now finished telling, but it doesn't mean there's not more story to tell. Harry left in the last episode. When I had the choice of whether to have him leave or stay, I decided to have him leave for a couple of reasons, but one of them was, if he leaves, then it's a great kick off if we do do a movie or something like that. Harry returns with some problem and people have to adjust. So I wouldn't be surprised if there's a movie or some sort in the future. Alan Tudyk echoed his statements, adding he has hopes for a crossover with the Predator franchise. I would be open to a future of Resident Alien past this incarnation on Syfy and USA [Network]. I've been joking that Resident Alien vs. Predator would make an entertaining movie. You could do a mash-up there! I know that Predator seems to be having a resurgence, so I don't know how willing they would be to mash-up with us. But there's any number of stories you could tell, and who knows what the business is going to be doing. I think it just comes down to that. The reason we're leaving is because the business is shifting, changing and figuring itself out for a minute. And when it figures itself out, if it gives us a call, we'll pick up. Want more io9 news?
