After years of appearing as the owner of the comic book store in The Big Bang Theory, Stuart Bloom is finally getting his own story.
HBO Max's new spin-off, Stuart Fails to Save the Universe, puts him at the centre of the action as he tries to fix a disaster that threatens the entire universe.
The series is the latest addition to The Big Bang Theory franchise, following the success of Young Sheldon and Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage.
What's The Story?
The story begins after Stuart accidentally breaks a device created by Sheldon Cooper and Leonard Hofstadter, causing a multiverse disaster. To set things right, he teams up with his girlfriend Denise, geologist Bert Kibbler and Barry Kripke.
Together, they travel across different realities, where they come across alternate versions of familiar The Big Bang Theory characters while trying to restore the original universe.
Familiar Characters In Bigger Roles
Unlike the original sitcom, where they mostly appeared as supporting characters, Stuart, Denise, Bert and Kripke are now the main focus of the story.
The series stars Kevin Sussman as Stuart Bloom, alongside Lauren Lapkus as Denise, Brian Posehn as Bert Kibbler and John Ross Bowie as Barry Kripke.
Co-creator Bill Prady said the characters remain exactly the same despite being placed in extraordinary situations. "The fun of it is that they continue to behave exactly as they behaved on 'Big Bang Theory'.
