According to Deadline, the upcoming spin-off of The Big Bang Theory will focus on popular side characters of the show. Kevin Sussman, who played Stuart Bloom, the owner of the comic book center that Sheldon Cooper and his gang frequented, has reportedly signed a deal to make a comeback in the spin-off.
Additionally, Posehn, who portrayed the role of Caltech University professor, Bert Kibbler, and Lapkus’ Denise, are also part of the spin-off’s cast. However, the co-creator of The Big Bang Theory, Chuck Lorre, has not made any statements regarding this as the spin-off is still under development.
Talking about the spin-off series in November 2023, Lorre told TVLine, “It’s prenatal. Yeah, you don’t talk about the birth until the second trimester, I believe, is the rule.” He further added, “That’s a long way of saying no, I’ve got nothing to say about it other than it’s something that we are discussing.”
In 2019, Lorre also revealed that he had an idea for a spin-off after the completion of The Big Bang Theory, but it was canceled. He told the TVLine, “Unless there was a creative reason to do it — a wonderfully, wonderfully creative reason to do it — than the only reason [to do it] is economics, and that’s not good enough.”
Earlier this year, Young Sheldon, a spin-off prequel to The Big Bang Theory, concluded with its seventh and final installment on May 16. Meanwhile, another spin-off, titled Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage, is set to air on CBS on October 17, 2024.
