The Big Bang Theory creator Chuck Lorre reveals how the show’s next spinoff is different. The upcoming Stuart Fails to Save the Universe is the third spinoff in the overall Big Bang Theory universe, currently in development for the HBO Max streaming service. It comes after the success of Young Sheldon and Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage, with Kevin Sussman coming back as the titular Stuart Bloom. Lauren Lapkus and Brian Posehn are also set to return in their respective roles as Denise and Bert.
“There’s a lot of CGI. There’s a lot of special technical stuff that — you know, for me in my career, a big production number was two people sitting on a couch, drinking coffee! This is different. This is trying to incorporate some of that world of science fiction/fantasy into a comedy. And I’m completely out of my element, which is what I wanted. Which is what I was hoping to do, something that I had no experience with. And maybe I can learn as we go.”
What This Means For Stuart Fails To Save The Universe
It Could Hint At The Plot
Outside of the casting around Stuart Fails to Save the Universe, including the fact that John Ross Bowie will reprise his The Big Bang Theory underrated role as Barry, much of the spinoff is still under wraps. The show has not been officially picked up by HBO Max just yet, although it has made significant progress, and Lorre revealed that he’s worked on several scripts for the planned series.
The latest update, however, hints at the fact that Stuart Fails to Save the Universe will include fantasy sequences. Bloom has a notable association with comic books, as the owner of a comic book store, and he may well imagine himself as some kind of hybrid of the famous superheroes that he sees all around him. That could potentially explain why there would be sci-fi and fantasy sequences.
Our Take On Stuart Fails To Save The Universe
It Has To Be Different
Lorre has been candid about the fact that he doesn’t want to create another The Big Bang Theory spinoff just for the sake of it. Giving the main character his own fantasy world, as seen in shows like Ally McBeal, is a way to ultimately help distinguish Stuart Fails to Save the Universe from the offshoots that came before.
