The Big Bang Theorycreator Chuck Lorre reveals how the show’s next spinoff is different. TheupcomingStuart Fails to Save the Universeis the third spinoff in the overallBig Bang Theoryuniverse, currently in development for the HBO Max streaming service. It comes after the success ofYoung SheldonandGeorgie & Mandy’s First Marriage, with Kevin Sussman coming back as the titular Stuart Bloom. Lauren Lapkus and Brian Posehn are also set to return in their respective roles as Denise and Bert.
While speaking at the Banff World Media Festival, according toVariety, Lorre revealed thatStuart Fails to Save the Universewill feature “a lot of CGI.”Lorre, who created theBig Bang Theorywith Bill Prady, elaborates in the quote below about how the planned spinoff will include elements of sci-fi and fantasy, and gets candid about how that represents a departure for him:
“There’s a lot of CGI. There’s a lot of special technical stuff that — you know, for me in my career, a big production number was two people sitting on a couch, drinking coffee! This is different. This is trying to incorporate some of that world of science fiction/fantasy into a comedy. And I’m completely out of my element, which is what I wanted. Which is what I was hoping to do, something that I had no experience with. And maybe I can learn as we go.”
What This Means For Stuart Fails To Save The Universe
It Could Hint At The Plot
Outside of the casting aroundStuart Fails to Save the Universe, including the fact that John Ross Bowie will reprise hisThe Big Bang Theoryunderrated role as Barry, much of the spinoff is still under wraps. The show has not been officially picked up by HBO Max just yet, although it has made significant progress, and Lorre revealed that he’s worked on several scripts for the planned series.
Stuart Fails to Save the Universehails from Chuck Lorre Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television, with Lorre, Prady, and Zak Penn serving as executive producers.
The latest update, however, hints at the fact thatStuart Fails to Save the Universewill include fantasy sequences. Bloom has a notable association with comic books, as the owner of a comic book store, and he may well imagine himself as some kind of hybrid of the famous superheroes that he sees all around him. That could potentially explain why there would be sci-fi and fantasy sequences.

Lorre has been candid about the fact that he doesn’t want to createanotherThe Big Bang Theoryspinoffjust for the sake of it.
