But who will be stepping into the limelight this time?

The brand-new big bang theory spin-off is all about unlucky-in-life Stuart Bloom!

Titled Stuart Fails to Save the Universe, the series will follow the fan-favourite comic book store owner as he navigates life, love, and – if his past is anything to go by – plenty of misfortune.

Big Bang legends Kevin Sussman (Stuart), Lauren Lapkus (Denise), Brian Posehn (Bert Kibbler), and John Ross Bowie (Barry Kripke) are all lined up to return – but with the show still awaiting the official green light, nothing is set in stone just yet.

Created by Big Bang mastermind Chuck Lorre, the show follows in the footsteps of  young sheldon and Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage, continuing the legacy of the iconic sitcom.

Despite being a constant source of laughs, kind-hearted Stuart often struggled with loneliness and self-doubt as he longed to fit in with the Big Bang Theory gang.

But things started looking up for Stuart after he fell for his comic book store manager Denise.

And in the final episodes of the sitcom, they began a relationship and decided to move in together.

Did Stuart finally get his happy ending?

Fans are excited to see what’s next in store for Stuart as his story continues six years later.

Taking to X – formerly Twitter – one fan wrote: “Wow, I can’t wait to see this, Stuart was such an underrated character.”

Another added: “That title sounds hilarious! Can’t wait to see Stuart try to save the universe!”

A third penned: “Stuart was always one of the funniest and most underappreciated characters on The Big Bang Theory. Excited to see him take centre stage!”

The Big Bang Theory was a huge success and remains the most popular sitcom breaking records for having the most seasons.

It aired for 12 seasons, had 279 episodes, spanning from September 24, 2007, to May 16, 2019 and averaged 18.6 million viewers per episode in its final season.

While The Big Bang Theory is no longer airing new episodes, it remains a popular show, with its episodes being streamed and re-watched, and the show continues to be a top-streamed sitcom in the UK.

The show’s spinoff, Young Sheldon, continues to perform well, with decent numbers for CBS, indicating that the Big Bang Theory universe still has a strong audience following.

Can the new spinoff follow the same success?
