July 23 at 9 p.m. ET is the streaming launch for Stuart Fails To Save the Universe, with HBO Max rolling out the 10-episode season weekly on Thursdays.
The teaser frames Stuart Bloom as the unlikely lead after he breaks a device built by Sheldon and Leonard, triggering a multiverse Armageddon he must try to reverse.
Kevin Sussman returns as Stuart alongside Lauren Lapkus, Brian Posehn and John Ross Bowie, while the footage also flashes a Johnny Galecki cameo and alternate-universe versions of familiar characters.
Warner Bros. Discovery revealed the first footage at its New York upfront, positioning the latest Big Bang Theory offshoot as a higher-stakes sci-fi comedy from Chuck Lorre, Bill Prady and Zak Penn.
Will Chuck Lorre’s sci-fi gamble be revered or reviled, and what does its fate signal for the future of sitcom franchises?
With Hollywood guilds protesting media consolidation, will this spinoff become a test case for creativity under a new media giant?
