A New HBO Max Show Turns a Quiet Comic Book Guy into a Universe-Saving Hero

What Is This New Show About?

Imagine a funny TV show where a shy guy who sells comic books becomes a big hero. That is what is happening in a new comedy series on HBO Max!

• It is a spin-off (a new show based on an old show) from the popular show The Big Bang Theory.
• The star is Stuart Bloom, the comic book store owner, played by actor Kevin Sussman.
• In this new story, Stuart becomes an unlikely action hero.
• His big job? Try to bring order back to a universe that is falling apart.

Who Talked About the Show?

A person named Luke Burbank sat down and chatted with the people who make and star in the show. He spoke with:

• Kevin Sussman – the actor who plays Stuart
• Lauren Lapkus – a co-star in the series
• Chuck Lorre – one of the show’s creators
• Bill Prady – another creator

Why Is This a Big Deal?

This is the first time these familiar Big Bang Theory characters are going into totally new and strange worlds. It is like taking friends you know from one story and dropping them into a wild, unknown adventure.
