About the Show
Stuart Fails to Save the Universe is a direct sequel to The Big Bang Theory and the franchise’s fourth series overall, following the original sitcom, Young Sheldon, and Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage. Kevin Sussman reprises his role as comic book store owner Stuart Bloom, who accidentally breaks a multiverse-triggering device left behind by Sheldon and Leonard and must now restore reality alongside Denise, Bert, and Kripke.
Co-creator Bill Prady explained the show picks up years after the original series in an alternate universe, framing the mission as fixing “the wrong world”. HBO Max hasn’t yet confirmed a second season.
