The Big Bang Theory has another spinoff series in the works. This will be the third spinoff following Young Sheldon and the currently airing Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage. This one is similar to the new spinoff in that it won’t feature the main characters from TBBT but does feature supporting characters who became fan favorites.

Here is what you need to know about the new spinoff.

New Big Bang Theory Spinoff Coming To Max

The one big change with the new TBBT spinoff is that it won’t air on CBS. While Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage is on CBS, the next spinoff is supposed to be a Max original. Also, unlike the other two spinoffs, this is not a prequel but a sequel series for the original.

The new series will feature three supporting cast members from the original series rather than any main cast members. However, there is always a chance someone could show up in guest roles since this takes place after the events of the main series.

Brian Posehn, Lauren Lapkus, and Kevin Sussman have signed on to headline the new TBBT spinoff series. As a reminder, Kevin played Stuart, who owned the comic book store where everyone hung out on the show. Lauren plays Denise, who Stuart fell in love with and remained with when the show ended. Posehn played Bert, a geologist at Caltech.

What Is The Big Bang Theory Show About?

Warner Bros has not revealed details about the show’s plot other than the casting. The thought is that Stuart will likely play the main role in the series along with his comic book store.

The new spinoff is in the works, but it has not gotten an official greenlight yet, and is likely waiting for the scripts to come in. While still under Chuck Lorre’s guidance, the production will film a pilot, and then Max will decide if it wants to move forward with a full series. With the success of the Young Sheldon series, Max will probably also consider the reception to the new spinoff from that show.

Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage is similar, as it does not follow Sheldon’s character but his brother Georgie and his wife, Mandy. Removing the entire spinoff from the main cast members of TBBT was the first chance to see if fans would follow. With Stuart and company, the show could at least bring back actors like Kunal Nayyar and Simon Helberg for guest appearances.
