It all started with a “Big Bang,” but the universe of the beloved TV show continues to expand.
“Stuart Fails to Save the Universe,” the third spinoff of “The Big Bang Theory,” premieres tonight, July 23, only on HBO Max. It becomes the first streaming-exclusive spinoff of the popular show after “Young Sheldon” and “Georgie and Mandy’s First Marriage” both premiered on CBS.
In the new series, comic book store owner Stuart Bloom (Kevin Sussman) has to restore reality after accidentally inciting a multiversal Armageddon by breaking a device built by Sheldon and Leonard.
Along the way, Stuart, his girlfriend Denise, geologist friend Bert and quantum physicist Barry meet alternate-universe versions of characters we’ve come to know and love from “The Big Bang Theory.”
