Although it is still unknown if they will be the main protagonists of this new installment, their participation is already confirmed.

We return to the comic book store
As far as we know, the spin-off will be set after the events that marked the end of The Big Bang Theory, offering a unique opportunity to find out what has happened to characters like Stuart, Bert, and Denise in their lives after the series. Stuart, in fact, became a prominent character during the last seasons, especially for his self-deprecating sense of humor and financial difficulties, which created very endearing moments.
Although the plot has not been fully confirmed, it is speculated that the story could focus on Stuart’s comic book store, a recurring setting in the original series and one that, along with his relationship with Denise, offers a wide range of comedic and nostalgic possibilities.

The producer and original co-creator of The Big Bang Theory, Chuck Lorre, returns to lead this new project, which is still in the development phase and without a definitive title. However, the fact that the actors have already signed exclusivity contracts is a promising sign that the spin-off is taking shape.
