A beloved Big Bang Theory character is making his way back to television. According to Deadline, John Ross Bowie will be returning as Barry Kripke in the upcoming spin-off show that will premiere on Max in the near future.

The new Big Bang Theory project will reunite audiences with Stuart Bloom (Kevin Sussman), Bert Kibbler (Brian Posehn), and Denise (Lauren Lapkus).
