WHAT TO KNOW:

*Stuart Fails to Save the Universe is a sci-fi comedy spinoff from The Big Bang Theory, featuring supporting characters like Kripke, Stuart, Bert, and Denise on an absurd multiverse adventure.

*John Ross Bowie highlights the unique chemistry and flawed skill sets of the main characters as they navigate post-apocalyptic power dynamics and parallel universes.

Leave it to John Ross Bowie‘s Barry Kripke to treat the end of the universe like a career opportunity. The sarcastic physicist, best known for making Sheldon Cooper’s (Jim Parsons) life miserable on The Big Bang Theory, returns in HBO Max’s Stuart Fails to Save the Universe, only this time he’s not fighting for office space at Caltech; as seen in the trailer, he’s ruling a post-apocalyptic empire.

Played to pompous perfection by Bowie, the smug physicist Kripke gets swept into a wildly absurd multiverse quest alongside comic book store owner Stuart Bloom (Kevin Sussman), geologist Bert Kibbler (Brian Posehn), and comic book store manager Denise (Lauren Lapkus) in the new sci-fi comedy, which extends the Big Bang universe above and beyond its sitcom roots into the realm of sci-fi and action adventure. The quartet is off on a misadventure after a machine built by BBT‘s Sheldon, Howard (Simon Helberg), and Leonard (Johnny Galecki) malfunctions, causing havoc in their own timeline, and thus forcing them to find a solution somewhere in the multiverse. And in one universe, Kripke is the “Supreme Leader of Pasadena.” According to Bowie, it’s exactly the kind of promotion Kripke has always believed he deserved.…..
