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).

Netflix and four time Emmy Award-winning multi-hyphenate talent Dan Levy are also extending their creative partnership with a series first-look deal. Netflix also announced six new recurring guest stars joining the cast of The Lincoln Lawyer's fifth and now final season.
