The hugely popular sitcom Big Bang Theory has already been spun off into two successful shows, Young Sheldon and the spinoff of that spinoff, George and Mandy’s First Marriage. In the latest adjunct to the franchise, Kevin Sussman recreates his Big Bang character, the hapless comic-book store owner Stuart, who here somehow breaks a device created by Sheldon and Leonard, the geniuses from the original show. Stuart, his girlfriend, Denise (Lauren Lapkus) and two friends are propelled into an alternate universe, and must try to restore reality. Failure is right there in the title, but we’ll see. Chuck Lorre, the mastermind behind all the Big Bang shows, told People “I just wanted to do something that challenged me,” including action and special effects, and added “I think it will be revered or reviled.” This new spinoff moves the franchise from middle-of-the-road CBS to the more adventurous HBO Max, which does seem like landing in an alternate universe.
