Is the New 'Big Bang Theory' Spinoff a Hit or Miss? Reddit Fans Weigh In
Fans debate whether the new spinoff will honor the original.
A new Big Bang Theory spinoff is officially happening! HBO Max has greenlit Stuart Fails to Save the Universe, a sci-fi comedy starring Kevin Sussman returning as Stuart Bloom. Unlike previous spinoffs, this one takes a wild multiverse twist, with Stuart accidentally triggering a crisis that pulls in alternate versions of familiar characters. The show promises a fresh mix of humor and sci-fi adventure, developed exclusively for streaming on Max with Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady back as executive producers.
Fans are buzzing, and the Reddit reactions capture a mix of excitement, skepticism, and hope.
One user on r/bigbangtheory wrote, "Finally giving Stuart his own spotlight — he’s been the unsung hero all along!"
Another on r/sitcoms was curious but cautious: "The multiverse angle could be genius or a total mess. Fingers crossed they don’t lose what made the original great."
A fan on r/television expressed enthusiasm for the blend of sci-fi elements with sitcom vibes, calling it a bold and fresh direction for the franchise.
But not everyone is sold — one critic noted, "I’m worried this might stray too far from the grounded charm of The Big Bang Theory. Hope the humor stays intact."
Whether you’re excited or skeptical, the Stuart Fails to Save the Universe spinoff is already stirring up plenty of buzz.
