Seven years later, and we're returning to the original story — only it's nothing like it, really.In all honesty, it looks like a hilarious spoof of The Walking Dead with a comic book twist. But what do we actually know about the new HBO Max show?

Stuart Fails to Save the Universe cast(Image credit: HBO Max)We're expecting the following main cast members to appear in Stuart Fails to Save the Universe:Kevin Sussman as Stuart Bloom / Alternate Stuart BloomBrian Posehn as Bert KibblerLauren Lapkus as DeniseJohn Ross Bowie as Barry Kripke / Supreme Ruler Barry KripkeRyan Cartwright as KyleJosh Brener as TrevorTommy Walker as GaryHowever, according to the synopsis (which you can read in full below), we can also expect to see some cameo appearances of alternate TBBT characters.Annoyingly, we don't know exactly who yet. This will likely be kept under wraps until episodes air, so keep your eyes peeled.Stuart Fails to Save the Universe plot (Image credit: HBO Max)Here's the official synopsis: "Comic book store owner Stuart Bloom is tasked with restoring reality after he breaks a device built by Sheldon (Jim Parsons) and Leonard (Johnny Galecki), accidentally bringing about a multiverse Armageddon. "Stuart is aided in this quest by his girlfriend Denise, geologist friend Bert, and quantum physicist/all-around pain in the ass Barry Kripke. Along the way, they meet alternate-universe versions of characters we’ve come to know and love from The Big Bang Theory. As the title implies, things don’t go well."See what I mean about those potential cameos? A lot of TBBT lore is set to be featured here, and fan theories are already spreading across the internet like wildfire. None of these is confirmed, however, so don't believe everything you read.The Big Bang Theory timeline — will it cross over?(Image credit: CBS)Out of the four shows that currently make up the Sheldonverse, this is the correct chronological order for them (according to time, not when they were released):Young SheldonGeorgie & Mandy's First MarriageThe Big Bang TheoryStuart Fails to Save the UniverseThere's currently no confirmation that Stuart Fails to Save the Universe and The Big Bang Theory will directly cross over, outside of the tipped cameos.However, as a show with alternate realities, it is logically feasible that some of these realities just happen to be the set of TBBT, or Sheldon's childhood home in Medford, Texas. Even more so for the latter, as the set is currently being used to film Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage season 3.We'll have to wait until the show starts airing to see if any of this is true.
