According to Variety, the Big Bang Theory‘s Brian Posehn, Lauren Lapkus, and Kevin Sussman will all star in the new series which was originally announced back in April 2023. They’ll all reprise their roles from the original series with Posehn returning as Caltech professor Bert Kibbler, Sussman as The Comic Center of Pasadena owner Stuart Bloom, and Lapkus as his coworker and girlfriend Denise.
Sussman’s Stuart appeared in most episodes of the original series as he arrived in Season 2 of The Big Bang Theory and returned for dozens of episodes throughout the rest of the show’s run. Meanwhile, Posehn’s Kibbler had a 15-episode run, popping up occasionally between Season 6 and the final season. Lapkus’ Denise first appeared in Season 11 and recurred on and off throughout the 12th and final season.
What Will The Big Bang Theory Spinoff Be About?
No loglines or details about the plot have been revealed at this time, but perhaps Stuart’s big role as the owner of a frequented location on the original show could play into it, but that’s merely speculation.
Has The Big Bang Theory Spinoff Been Greenlit?
The new show hasn’t technically been ordered to series as it remains in the development stage, but stay tuned for any pertinent updates as the project takes shape.
