The Big Bang Theory has another spin off coming in July. We have seen the success that Young Sheldon brought the the franchise. This time, it focuses on beloved comic book store owner Stuart Bloom (Kevin Sussman) .
Stuart started to become a regular in Season 6 of The Big Bang Theory with fans being drawn to his persona of a down-on-his-luck, nerdie character who is always battling with financial ruin.

I honestly didn’t know what to expect from this spin-off; however, I would not have guessed this. But I am excited
Synopsis
Stuart Bloom—a man whose biggest daily challenge is usually just digesting dairy—finds himself holding the fate of the cosmos in his clammy hands.
It all starts because Sheldon and Leonard build some impossibly complex, glowing quantum gizmo. Leaving it unattended, and Stuart does what Stuart does. He touches it. Maybe he was trying to dust it, maybe he just tripped over his own orthopaedic shoes; either way, snap.
Suddenly, reality tears open like a cheap comic book backing board, plunging the universe into a full-blown multiverse Armageddon.
Stuart, naturally, is terrified. He doesn’t want to save the world; he just wants to go back to sleeping on his cot in the back of the comic shop. But since he broke it, he has to fix it. Fortunately (or unfortunately), he’s not alone in this cosmic dumpster fire.
His crew consists of:
- Denise: His incredibly patient, badass girlfriend. She is effectively running this entire operation because she’s the only one who doesn’t panic when the sky turns purple.
- Bert Kibbler: The towering, monotone geologist who is genuinely just thrilled to be included in a group activity. He frequently points out that the interdimensional rifts look a lot like “very rare quartz formations.”
- Barry Kripke: A quantum physicist and an absolute, gold-certified pain in the ass. Kripke has the brainpower to fix the device. He refuses to do so unless he constantly mocks Stuart’s posture, demands snacks, and hits on Denise.
As this profoundly unqualified suicide squad treks through the fracturing fabric of space and time. They start bumping into alternate-universe versions of the main gang. A timeline where Sheldon Cooper is a laid-back, weed-smoking surfer dude. A universe where Howard Wolowitz is a deeply respected, suave NASA commander who finds Stuart pathetic; and a reality where Penny is a ruthless, corporate overlord.
Stuart is just trying to glue the space-time continuum back together with literal tape and a prayer, while Kripke argues about the physics of it and Bert tries to collect space rocks.
As you can probably guess, things go sideways almost immediately. It’s a chaotic, sweaty, existential nightmare—and honestly? It’s still only the second-worst Tuesday Stuart has ever had.
Season 1 airs July 23rd on HBO Max which is now available in the UK.
