Big Bang Theory Spinoff 'Stuart Fails to Save the Universe' in Development

The first streaming-only spinoff of the franchise will center on Stuart Bloom's struggles, with Kevin Sussman set to reprise his role.

The upcoming spinoff, titled 'Stuart Fails to Save the Universe,' focuses on Stuart Bloom, a down-on-his-luck comic book store owner from the original series.
Kevin Sussman will return as Stuart, joined by Lauren Lapkus, Brian Posehn, and John Ross Bowie reprising their roles from The Big Bang Theory.
The series is being developed by franchise creators Chuck Lorre, Bill Prady, and Zak Penn, ensuring creative continuity with the original show.
This marks the first Big Bang Theory spinoff created exclusively for streaming on Max, though no release date or production timeline has been announced.
The show continues the franchise's expansion, following the success of Young Sheldon and Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage, with a shift toward character-focused storytelling.
