Television, the studio behind the series.
Representatives for Warner Bros. Television and Max declined to provide further details about the project at this time.
Kevin Sussman, known for his role as Stuart Bloom, the owner of the comic book store in “The Big Bang Theory,” became a fan favorite after appearing in over 80 episodes of the show. Brian Posehn portrayed Bert Kibbler, a geologist at Caltech, and Lauren Lapkus played Denise, the assistant manager of the comic book store and Stuart’s love interest.
Posehn’s extensive television credits include “Mr. Show with Bob and David,” “Just Shoot Me,” and “New Girl,” as well as multiple film appearances. Lapkus has also appeared in popular shows like “Orange Is the New Black” and “Comedy Bang! Bang!” along with notable film roles.
With a potential series order, this spinoff would mark the fourth installment in the “Big Bang Theory” franchise. Following the original series and the successful prequel “Young Sheldon,” fans can look forward to more adventures in this beloved universe.
