The ever-growing Big Bang Theory universe is welcoming yet another addition, this time centred around an unexpected character. The upcoming spinoff, Stuart Fails to Save the Universe, puts the spotlight on Stuart Bloom, the unlucky comic book store owner played by Kevin Sussman.
As the title suggests, Stuart will once again find himself entangled in a series of misfortunes—likely filled with awkward and hilarious moments—proving that luck is still not on his side. The show, currently in development at Warner Bros. Television, is backed by the creative team behind the original series, ensuring a familiar blend of nerdy humour and chaotic adventures for longtime fans.

But Stuart won’t be facing his struggles alone. The spinoff will bring back some familiar characters, including Lauren Lapkus as Denise, the socially awkward but lovable girlfriend introduced in The Big Bang Theory. Additionally, John Ross Bowie is expected to reprise his role as Barry Kripke, the lisping scientist whose rivalry with Sheldon Cooper was a consistent source of comedic gold. Their involvement suggests the show will maintain the quirky chemistry that made the original a fan favourite.
While official casting confirmations are still pending, reports indicate that more key actors are expected to join soon. Behind the scenes, a powerhouse team is coming together, with Big Bang Theory veterans Chuck Lorre, Zak Penn, and Bill Prady stepping in as producers. Their track record with the franchise promises another entertaining addition to the lineup.
This new project joins a growing list of spinoffs derived from the Big Bang Theory universe. First came Young Sheldon, which explored the childhood of the socially challenged genius, played by Iain Armitage. More recently, Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage delved into the life of Sheldon’s older brother, featuring Montana Jordan and Emily Osment. With that series securing a second season, it’s clear that audiences still have a strong appetite for stories from this beloved world.
As for when Stuart Fails to Save the Universe will premiere? That remains a mystery. But with production in motion, fans can expect more details to emerge soon.
