As "Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage" continues to keep the Cooper family grounded at CBS, "Big Bang Theory" co-creators Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady (along with screenwriter Zak Penn) are taking the franchise into uncharted territory for the in-development spinoff titled "Stuart Fails to Save the Universe." It’s a step in a new direction for Lorre, who revealed the streaming series is going heavy on…wait for it…CGI effects, so that it can lean more into its sci-fi comedy inspirations.
Considering the bulk of the CGI used in "The Big Bang Theory" was utilized in the opening titles and transitions, as opposed to within the lives and narratives of the characters, Lorre and Prady have been busy trying to educate themselves in the process while churning out scripts for the Stuart-centered offshoot, which reunited Kevin Sussman and co-stars for a photo shoot earlier in the year.
