Fans of The Big Bang Theory were left stunned as HBO Max’s spinoff brought back one of the original series’ key characters, but with a surprising makeover and a whole new attitude.

The new spinoff series Stuart Fails to Save the Universe, which premiered Thursday as the third offshoot of The Big Bang Theory and the first to land on a streamer, shifts the spotlight away from physicists Sheldon Cooper, played by Jim Parsons, and Leonard Hofstadter, played by Johnny Galecki, and onto comic book store owner Stuart Bloom.

Stuart, portrayed by Kevin Sussman, is seen traveling through alternate dimensions in search of a way to undo an apocalypse, encountering some familiar faces along the way.
