The Big Bang Theory's Stuart Spinoff Ordered by HBO Max; Long Story Short Premieres August 22 on Netflix

HBO Max has given a series order to The Big Bang Theory spinoff Stuart Fails to Save the Universe, from Chuck Lorre Productions and Warner Bros. Television. The comedy series is executive produced by Emmy®-nominated creators Chuck Lorre, Zak Penn, and Bill Prady.

Comic book store owner Stuart Bloom is tasked with restoring reality after he breaks a device built by Sheldon and Leonard, accidentally bringing about a multiverse Armageddon. Stuart is aided in this quest by his 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 we've come to know and love from The Big Bang Theory. As the title implies, things don’t go well.

The series stars Kevin Sussman (Stuart), Lauren Lapkus (Denise), Brian Posehn (Bert), and John Ross Bowie (Barry).

From the creator of BoJack Horseman, a comedy for anyone who has ever loved or hated their family. Long Story Short, premiering August 22. Watch on Netflix.
