About the series

Every universe needs a hero. We got Stuart.

What it’s about

Stuart Bloom runs a comic-book store in Pasadena. After he breaks a quantum-interference device built by Sheldon, Leonard, and Howard, reality starts coming apart. His own quantum double shows up with a mission: get the device working again and save the universe. He is joined by his girlfriend Denise, his geologist friend Bert, and the fastidious quantum physicist Barry Kripke. Their task is to find the device and restore order before every dimension collapses.

What hooks you

The series brings back “The Big Bang Theory” characters in a new setting, with Lauren Lapkus as Denise, Kevin Sussman as Stuart, Brian Posehn as Bert, and John Ross Bowie as Kripke. It was created by Chuck Lorre and Zak Penn, with Jonathan Frakes and Kyle Newacheck directing.

Who it’s for

It is a good pick for those who enjoy comic-book humour, parallel-world chaos, and underdog heroes who keep failing upward. It will also suit viewers who want a lighter, geeky adventure with familiar faces from a beloved sitcom.
