HBO Max has officially greenlit a brand-new spinoff titled Stuart Fails to Save the Universe, centering on Kevin Sussman’s beloved comic-book shop owner, Stuart Bloom. This marks the fourth series set in the Big Bang universe—following Young Sheldon and Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage. In a comedic sci-fi twist, Stuart accidentally disrupts the multiverse with a device created by Leonard and Sheldon, and must now scramble to fix reality itself. Lauren Lapkus, Brian Posehn, and John Ross Bowie will reprise their roles, along with alternate versions of iconic characters.
Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady aim to infuse the show with a fresh, CGI-driven energy that balances nostalgia with bold new storytelling. Comic relief and multiversal havoc promise a series ripe for both old fans and newcomers.
🤔 Could a Big Bang Theory Reboot Happen? Kunal Nayyar Weighs In
Raj Koothrappali actor Kunal Nayyar (44) recently addressed the topic of a Big Bang Theory reboot. While he cherishes the show’s legacy and the lifelong friendships it fostered, he thinks it might be too soon to revisit the series. Nayyar also revealed he’s branching out—earning a BAFTA nomination for a true crime drama (Criminal: UK) and launching a family-focused app called IQ121 New York Post.
Despite sitting out a group chat with co-stars, he remains close to them and would be open to surprises down the line, though no reunion is on the horizon just yet.
