What Is The New Big Bang Theory Spin-Off? Possible Plot & Character Info Explained

As a die-hard fan of The Big Bang Theory for over a decade now, I can’t contain my excitement about the upcoming spin-off featuring some of our beloved characters! It’s been a long wait, but the slow and steady approach by CBS and Chuck Lorre seems to be paying off.


After more than a year of development, the production for Max’s “The Big Bang Theory” spin-off has officially begun. During this time, “Young Sheldon” concluded, and its spin-off, the problematic “Georgie and Mandy’s First Marriage,” is scheduled to air soon. However, this upcoming series appears to be quite distinct. It will explore a new direction, unfold in a completely different timeline, and focus on characters who had significant roles in “The Big Bang Theory” but were not the primary figures in the original storyline. Essentially, it’s a genuine spin-off delving into the lives of some cherished secondary characters, and it seems likely to be set in a familiar location from the original series.

Who are the individuals in question? Why has Max kept fans on tenterhooks regarding casting updates, and why is progress seeming sluggish with regard to this project? Is there a possibility of additional offshoots for the iconic, evergreen sitcom? Here’s what we currently understand about Max’s still unnamed “The Big Bang Theory” spin-off.

What is the new Big Bang Theory Spinoff about and which characters will return?

As a gamer, I’m thrilled to share some exclusive news about The Big Bang Theory spin-off! According to Deadline, it seems this new series, titled Max, will delve into the lives at The Comic Center of Pasadena. Fans rejoice, as Kevin Sussman (Stuart Bloom), Lauren Lapkus (Denise), and Brian Posehn (Bert Kibbler) have all signed on for the show! No filming date has been set yet, but Channing Dungey, CEO of Warner Bros. Television Group, hinted to Deadline that we won’t hear anything more until the script is complete. As for whether other Big Bang Theory characters will join the cast? Well, she advised us not to jump to conclusions just yet!

Stuart, of course, owns the Comic Center and is a talented, artistic, anxious, and often put-upon soul. The “Big Bang Theory” gang hangs out at the store frequently, and he develops close relationships within the group. When a fire ravages the building, Mrs. Wolowitz  (Carol Ann Susi) gives him the money he needs to rebuild. Despite his friendly relations with Sheldon Cooper (Jim Parsons) and the others, Howard doesn’t approve of Stuart’s closeness with his mom, especially in light of their own difficult relationship. That gets even worse when Stuart moves into his mom’s house after the fire. 

Furthermore, Stuart creates a bit of romantic tension for himself by dating both Penny and Amy in the series, specifically Leonard Hofstadter (Johnny Galecki). In Season 12’s “The Wedding Gift Wormhole,” Stuart and Denise form a relationship. As the story progresses, we find them deciding to live together. Prior to her relationship with Stuart, Denise served as assistant manager at the Comic Center during Season 11. She admires her boss’s geeky intellect, leading them to eventually start dating.

It’s intriguing that Bert, a geology professor from CalTech, is part of the show, as he seems unrelated to the comic book store. Being quite solitary and socially awkward, Bert expresses affection by gifting people with precious gems. However, Amy dismisses him, and he tends to tag along or stick close to her dates. Over time, he manages to forge relationships with most of the group. Ultimately, Bert receives a MacArthur Fellowship worth $500,000.

For over a year now, we’ve been hearing about an unnamed spin-off of “The Big Bang Theory,” but there might be a reason for the silence. In November 2023, co-creator Chuck Lorre told TVInsider that the project was still in its early stages, likening it to a baby in the womb.

He expressed that discussing pregnancy matters shouldn’t happen until the second trimester, as a general rule. In simpler terms, he had no comments about it other than acknowledging that it was a topic under discussion.

Will The Big Bang Theory have any other spinoffs?

It’s quite possible that we might see more “The Big Bang Theory” spin-offs, particularly following the acclaim of “Young Sheldon.” Back in 2018, Kunal Nayyar, who portrayed Raj Koothrappali, playfully proposed a spin-off concept for his character during a writers’ panel at San Diego Comic-Con.

In simpler terms,

Jim Parsons hasn’t ruled out future adventures with the character Old Sheldon, stating that he would never say never to anything due to the unpredictability of life. He explained this during his interview on “Who’s Talking To Chris Wallace?” and added that since The Big Bang Theory was such a unique experience, it wouldn’t be the same if they were to continue it. However, he expressed that as long as life continues, there may still be opportunities for more “nerdy hijinks” in the future.
