The Big Bang Theory Spinoff Reveals Stuart-Centric Title — Are You a Fan?
The highly anticipated Big Bang Theory spinoff is keeping its premise under wraps — but now we know that it will most definitely center on Kevin Sussman's luckless comic book store owner, Stuart Bloom. As our sister site Deadline was first to report, the Max sequel series will be titled… Stuart Fails to Save the Universe. Sussman will reprise his titular role, opposite fellow franchise vets John Ross Bowie (Barry Kripke), Lauren Lapkus (Denise) and Brian Posehn (Bert).

As previously reported, feature writer Zak Penn (The Avengers, Ready Player One, Free Guy) will pen the pilot script with original series co-creators Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady. The potential offshoot, which has not yet received a formal series order, would be the fourth entry in the TBBT universe — following The Big Bang Theory (2007-2019), prequel series Young Sheldon (2017-2024), and Young Sheldon spinoff Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage (2024-) — and the first made exclusively for a streaming service. Though further details remain scarce, 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 have a title.

‘The Big Bang Theory' Spinoff Lands Another Star From the Original Series
John Ross Bowie is poised to reprise the role of Caltech plasma physicist and string theorist Barry Kripke in a spinoff of CBS' long-running sitcom 'The Big Bang Theory' currently in the early stages of development at Max. An individual familiar with the matter tells TheWrap that because the project has not yet received a series greenlight, Bowie has signed a holding deal with Warner Bros. Television. The spinoff comes from Chuck Lorre Productions in association with WBTV. Lorree serve as an executive producer and writer alongside Zak Penn and Bill Prady. Additional details about the project remain under wraps. Other 'Big Bang Theory' alums poised to return include Kevin Sussman, who portrayed Stuart Bloom, Brian Posehn, who played Bert Kibbler, and Lauren Lapkus, who played Denise. Introduced in Season 2, Kripke became a fan favorite, known for incessantly mocking his colleague and rival Sheldon Cooper (Jim Parsons) and his speech impediment due to rhotacism. He would go on to become a recurring character through the remainder of the show's 12-season run. In addition to 'The Big Bang Theory,' Bowie's other credits include 'Speechless,' 'Children's Hospital,' 'Jumanji: The Next Level,' and another Chuck Lorre CBS comedy, 'United States of Al.' The latest 'Big Bang Theory' spinoff follows the CBS hit 'Young Sheldon,' which ended last year after a 7-season run on the network. The post 'The Big Bang Theory' Spinoff Lands Another Star From the Original Series appeared first on TheWrap.
