BIG BANG THEORY Spinoff Series at Max Adds Original Cast Members Brian Posehn, Lauren Lapkus and Kevin Sussman

The Big Bang Theory spinoff series that was announced last year to be in the works at Max has found its first three cast members. Actors Brian Posehn, Lauren Lapkus, and Kevin Sussman will all star in the potential show. Exact plot details remain under wraps but all three actors would reprise their roles from the original series.

The show remains in development and has not been greenlit to series at this time, with Posehn, Sussman, and Lapkus currently under talent holding deals. Big Bang Theory co-creator Chuck Lorre is executive producing the new project via Chuck Lorre Productions, with Lorre currently under an overall deal with series studio Warner Bros. Television.

Sussman famously played comic book store owner Stuart Bloom on the flagship series, beginning in the show’s second season, eventually rising to series regular status. He appeared in over 80 episodes total throughout the remainder of the show’s run, including in the series finale.

Posehn appeared in The Big Bang Theory in the role of Bert Kibbler, a geologist at Caltech with a crush on Amy (Mayim Bialik). He appeared in 15 episodes of the show starting in Season 6. Lapkus played Denise, the assistant manager of Stuart’s comic book store and Stuart’s eventual love interest, across eight episodes in Seasons 11 and 12.

I can’t say I’ve thought much about these characters since the end of the show, but they were all very funny, so maybe there is some potential there. Would you be interested in this spinoff?
