“Maybe we have a chance to fix the world?” Buckle up for a wild ride! HBO Max unveiled the full official trailer for the sci-fi comedy spin-off series called Stuart Fails to Save the Universe, created by Chuck Lorre, Zak Penn, and Bill Prady. Ready for the streaming debut on HBO Max in July with new episodes out weekly. The series is the fourth TV series in The Big Bang Theory franchise, and the second direct spin-off of the sitcom “The Big Bang Theory”. Comic book store owner Stuart Bloom is tasked with restoring reality after he breaks a device built by Sheldon & Leonard, accidentally bringing about a multiverse Armageddon. Stuart is aided in this quest by girlfriend Denise, geologist friend Bert, and quantum physicist/all-around pain in the ass Barry Kripke. Along the way, they meet alternate-universe versions of characters from “The Big Bang Theory.” Starring Kevin Sussman as the titular Stuart, with Lauren Lapkus, Brian Posehn, and John Ross Bowie, plus Ryan Cartwright, Josh Brener, & Tommy Walker. A fun new dystopian, post-apocalyptic, alternate universe comedy series – actually doesn’t look half bad. There’s an amusing riff on The Matrix in this trailer, waking up in the gooey battery pods, along with a few other geeky references.
