The Big Bang Theory New Spinoff Cast Update Confirms Bigger Roles for Neglected Characters
Years later, the show will finally make it up to its most underrated characters.
After months of speculation and rumours, The Big Bang Theory might in fact be back on track with a new spinoff that many have been waiting for ever since the original show wrapped it up back in 2019.
While Chuck Lorre is still not done with Young Sheldon ’s spinoff show Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage, the creator’s plans for the franchise’s future actually look quite promising as he seems to be determined to finally bring unfairly forgotten and often ignored characters back to the light.
The latest update about the future series’ casting is yet another proof for it.
The Big Bang Theory New Spinoff Adds Another Side Character From the OG Show
The future series that so far doesn’t have an official title has already secured Kevin Sussman, Brian Posehn and Lauren Lapkus’ return to the story as Stuart, Bert Kibbler and Denise respectively, but another major update makes the project an even more exciting future release to wait for.
According to Deadline, John Ross Bowie is now also on board, set to reprise his role as Barry Kripke.
The plot details about the spinoff show are mostly under the wraps as nothing has been confirmed officially yet, though the actors have reportedly signed a specific type of contract that serves as a guarantee of their intention to come back to their roles.
Naturally, the future show has a lot of work to be done, so it’s very unlikely that it will arrive on small screens sometime during the next couple of years.
The Big Bang Theory Next Spinoff Might Be the One Fans Many Dreamed Of
A bunch of rumours about what’s next for the sitcom’s franchise has been circulating in the media for quite a long time now, and fans were divided over what story they would like to get a closer look at.
Some had high hopes for a spinoff that would centre on Kaley Cuoco ’s Penny who has been long and brutally mistreated by the show’s creators; others were rooting for Stuart who mostly remained in the lead characters’ shadows throughout the series’ entire run.
The latest casting updates coming from the so far mysterious spinoff might be great news for the latter ones as it does seem like Chuck Lorre will now be focusing on the original show’s outcasts, leaving them more time and space to have their own stories unfold.
Additionally, the side characters that will reportedly appear in the new spinoff are mostly associated with The Big Bang Theory’s funniest moments, which is another major reason to have them back on the screen.
