The new movie and TV releases coming to HBO Max from July 20 to July 26, 2026, include Stuart Fails to Save the Universe.
Executive produced by Chuck Lorre, Zak Penn, and Bill Prady, the series is the second direct spin-off of the sitcom The Big Bang Theory. It follows the adventures of Stuart Bloom, a comic book shop owner. He must restore reality after a device that Sheldon and Leonard made is broken by him. In this mission, Stuart is joined by his girlfriend Denise, quantum physicist Barry Kripke, and geologist Bert.
The sci-fi comedy series features Kevin Sussman, Brian Posehn, Lauren Lapkus, and John Ross Bowie in key roles.
The actors also teased exciting easter eggs in the series in their interview with E! News. “There’s a bunch of Easter eggs within the show that I think if you’re a fan, you’ll catch all these little things,” Lapkus said. She also promised it will feature “lots of cameos.” On the other hand, Sussman commented, “It’s alluded to in The Big Bang Theory that he sort of lives in the basement of his comic bookstore. But we finally get to see that space.”
