Big news from the world of The Big Bang Theory!
According to a new report from Deadline, the upcoming untitled TBBT spinoff has added three beloved cast members from the original series.
Kevin Sussman, Lauren Lapkus, and Brian Posehn will all make their returns to the Big Bang-iverse in a sequel series that’s otherwise shrouded in mystery.
On the original series, Sussman portrayed comic book store owner Stuart Bloom, who quickly developed into a fan favorite.
Lapkus and Posehn played Denise and Bert Kibbler, respectively, so it’s safe to assume that the spinoff will center around that trio of characters.
More casting announcements are sure to follow, but it seems that locking down the key three was producers’ top priority.
This is the first indication of the new show’s focus since it was first announced back on April of 2023.
Insiders say no script has been written, and the project has yet to receive a greenlight from CBS.
But since this is a Chuck Lorre production stemming from one of the most successful franchises in network history, it’s safe to assume that this thing will eventually see the light of day.
If you’re a fan of the original TBBT, then you know what fertile ground it’s been for spinoffs.
Young Sheldon wrapped its successful seven-season run in May.
(The show might well have continued for several more years were it not for the fact that titular star Iain Armitage was beginning to age out of the role.)
And that series spawned Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage, which is set to premiere on CBS on October 17.
So yeah, barring anything short of a complete disaster, the mysterious third spinoff will hit your screen soon — possibly as early as fall of 2025.
And there’s been talk of additional TBBT spinoffs, including one centering on Kunal Nayyar‘s Raj character.
So it looks like the TBBT universe will continue to expand for the foreseeable future.
