The Big Bang Theory‘s next spinoff, Stuart Saves The Universe, is breaking an 18-year trend for the comedy franchise. It has been almost 6 years since The Big Bang Theory ended, and despite that, the show never really lost its relevance due to several factors. For starters, the original nerd-centric sitcom has always been on re-runs through syndication deals, not to mention readily available on streaming. Secondly, prequels such as Young Sheldon and now, Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage keep the universe alive. Because of these factors, The Big Bang Theory continues to be very popular.
