The Big Bang Theory<\/em> <\/a>spinoff has found their star \u2014 but which character from the OG show is taking center stage in the new series?<\/p>\n

Multiple outlets confirmed on Wednesday, March 19, that Kevin Sussman<\/strong>\u2018s Stuart Bloom will lead the show, which is titled Stuart Fails to Save the Universe.<\/em> Sussman, 54, will reprise his role as the comic book store owner alongside fellow alums<\/a> John Ross Bowie<\/strong> as Barry Kripke, Lauren Lapkus<\/strong> as Denise and Brian Posehn<\/strong> as Bert.<\/p>\n

The potential spinoff, which has yet to receive a formal series order, is the fourth project in the Big Bang Theory<\/em> universe. CBS\u2019 hit sitcom aired from 2007 to 2019 and starred Jim Parsons, Kaley Cuoco, Johnny Galecki, Simon Helberg, Kunal Nayyar, Mayim Bialik<\/strong> and Melissa Rauch<\/em> as a group of friends made up of scientists and their significant others.<\/p>\n

As TBBT came to an end, CBS expanded with the Young Sheldon<\/em><\/a> prequel, which focused on Sheldon (Iain Armitage<\/strong>) as a child prodigy growing up in Texas. Viewers met Sheldon\u2019s brother, Georgie (Montana Jordan<\/strong>), and that paved the way for his love story with Mandy (Emily Osment<\/strong>) to become the focus of another spinoff, Georgie & Mandy\u2019s First Marriage<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can watch Young Sheldon<\/em> without knowing anything about The Big Bang Theory. And I believe you can watch Georgie & Mandy\u2019s First Marriage<\/em> without watching Young Sheldon<\/em>,\u201d Jordan exclusively told Us Weekly<\/em> in October 2024. \u201cIt\u2019s a new start.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fans continue to wait for new information on the third offshoot<\/a> \u2014 starting with appearances from more familiar faces. Bialik, 49, recently weighed in on whether she would return to the upcoming Max series.<\/p>\n

\u201cI haven\u2019t been contacted,\u201d she exclusively told Us<\/em> in January. \u201cI\u2019ve seen what\u2019s been announced and I think that\u2019s where a lot of people\u2019s knowledge of it is right [now] \u2014 me being one of them.\u201d<\/p>\n
