The Big Bang Theory Teased Its Latest Spinoff 13 Years Before It Was Announced

As a dedicated cinephile, I can’t help but reminisce about the incredible 12-year reign of “The Big Bang Theory” on our screens. This show, which delved into the lives of a band of intellectuals navigating California, was so popular that it even birthed its own spinoff, “Young Sheldon,” running for an impressive seven years. But the excitement didn’t end there! The prequel, focusing on Sheldon Cooper’s childhood in Texas, proved to be such a sensation that it paved the way for yet another series, “Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage.”

Moving forward from the past, the creative minds behind “The Big Bang Theory,” led by Chuck Lorre, are now focusing on the future. They’ve decided to bring back some beloved characters for another thrilling journey. It’s a testament to the lasting impact this series has had on us all!

It’s unusual for “Stuart Fails to Save the Universe” to have a premise that isn’t based on reality like its predecessors, as it introduces a science-fiction element which may be challenging to execute effectively. However, the advantage of “Stuart Fails to Save the Universe” is that it builds upon the storyline teased by “The Big Bang Theory” back in 2012.

Sheldon Is a Big Fan of the Multiverse in The Big Bang Theory

In “The Big Bang Theory,” Howard Wolowitz consistently aims to tease Sheldon Cooper. This is because he resents Sheldon’s mockery of him for being an engineer. As a result, Howard often orchestrates pranks to provoke his friend. However, in the sixth season’s episode titled “The 43 Peculiarity,” it’s Sheldon who turns the tables. The gang notices that Sheldon vanishes at the same hour each day and decides to uncover the secret behind these disappearances. Their investigation eventually leads them to a storage room in Caltech’s basement, where they find only a whiteboard with the number “43” scribbled on it. Intrigued, Howard and Raj decide to install cameras in the room to decipher the mystery of the number and its connection to Sheldon.

The following day, the guys boot up a computer and tune into a live feed. Alone in the room, Sheldon activates a device that creates a wormhole. This theoretical physicist has been on a quest to find life in alternate dimensions, but so far, he’s come up empty 43 times. However, the 44th attempt brings success when a creature resembling an octopus emerges from the wormhole. The creature starts attacking Sheldon, leaving Howard and Raj dumbfounded. But before they can process the situation, Sheldon suddenly appears behind them, confessing it was all part of a prank. As the episode concludes, we learn that Sheldon occasionally uses the room for playing Hacky Sack, yet his fascination with the multiverse remains undiminished.

Stuart Fails to Save the Universe Will Break Reality

It’s an intriguing concept to consider a spinoff featuring Stuart from The Big Bang Theory, given that he’s arguably one of the least captivating characters on the show. Initially portrayed as the owner of a comic book store, Stuart develops into a source of trouble for Howard and his wife when he decides to move in with them. Contrary to what you might expect, Stuart Fails to Save the Universe won’t focus on Stuart’s mundane daily activities. Instead, it will take him on an exciting adventure through various universes after accidentally damaging a device that Sheldon and Leonard Hofstadter created. The specifics of this device are still uncertain, but it seems to share similarities with the fictitious one from “The 43 Peculiarity,” as it allows Stuart and his companions to explore different realities.

Stuart’s Unsuccessful Cosmic Rescue introduces reimagined characters from the beloved series, The Big Bang Theory. Although specifics about the original cast’s involvement are yet to be revealed, it seems challenging to envision the story without them. Given Sheldon’s notorious nature, one can only imagine there are perilous counterparts lurking around, causing mischief. And let’s face it, Howard and Raj’s alter egos will likely be hot on their heels in this long-awaited showdown that spans over a decade.

The Big Bang Theory is streaming on HBO Max.
