The upcoming spin-off of the hugely popular sitcom “The Big Bang Theory” has finally got its release date.
“Stuart Fails to Save the Universe” will follow a number of supporting characters from its parent show, with Kevin Sussman’s hapless Stuart Bloom as its star.
Per IMDb, the show’s synopsis is as follows: “Comic book store owner Stuart Bloom from The Big Bang Theory (2007) returns in a new series where he attempts – and apparently fails – to save the universe, staying true to his unlucky nature.”
The announcement regarding the release date was made as the show’s cast appeared on a panel at CCXP Mexico City on Sunday, April 26.
‘Stuart Fails to Save the Universe’ Is Coming to HBO Max in July
