Stuart Fails to Save the Universe Official Podcast; All-Star Cast for Elizabeth Banks Apple TV Comedy

The Stuart Fails to Save the Universe Official Podcast Trailer is here, and HBO Max is bringing Big Bang Theory fans back into a wildly ambitious new sci-fi comedy. After each episode, Felicia Day and Wil Wheaton will break down the biggest moments, comic book references, multiverse theories, and behind-the-scenes stories from Stuart Fails to Save the Universe.

If you've followed Stuart Bloom since The Big Bang Theory, this official podcast promises creator interviews, cast conversations, Easter eggs, and deep dives into the action adventure science fiction comedy starring Kevin Sussman. Featuring Chuck Lorre, Bill Prady, Zak Penn, Lauren Lapkus, Brian Posehn, John Ross Bowie, Jonathan Frakes, Josh Brener, and more, every episode celebrates the comic book heart of the series while embracing its multiverse sized chaos.

Michelle Buteau, Hamish Linklater, and Simu Liu

Good company makes for great comedy. Michelle Buteau, Hamish Linklater, and Simu Liu will join Elizabeth Banks in recurring roles in the new comedy series from creators Liz Heldens and Matt Ward, with no name just yet. The series stars Banks, Ted Danson, Katey Sagal, and Rob Delaney.

Fresh off a messy divorce, Heidi (Elizabeth Banks) sets out to secure a lively second act for herself and her kids. But when she stumbles into coordinating her father's (Ted Danson) retirement community sex dates, Heidi is forced into an unlikely alliance with his girlfriend's (Katey Sagal) perpetually single son (Rob Delaney).
