Stuart’s attempts to restore reality will continue as HBO Max today renewed Stuart Fails to Save the Universe for a second season.

The renewal comes just four episodes into the show’s ten-episode debut season. According to HBO Max’s announcement, the Big Bang Theory spinoff is the streaming service’s second-biggest global comedy launch to date.

Amy Gravitt, EVP of HBO Programming and head of HBO and HBO Max comedy series, said, “We’re delighted with how this hilarious, genre-bending show from Chuck, Zak, and Bill has connected with the audience, both devotees of ‘The Big Bang Theory’ and new fans alike. Along with everyone else, we can’t wait to see the worlds they conjure for these beloved characters next season.”

Channing Dungey, chairman and CEO of Warner Bros. Television Group and WBD US Networks, said, “Chuck, Zak, and Bill delivered something truly special with STUART FAILS TO SAVE THE UNIVERSE — a completely original take on one of the most beloved franchises of all time that captures the unique essence that made ‘The Big Bang Theory’ so special. It’s been an absolute joy to see audiences embrace this next iteration so passionately, and we can’t wait to continue exploring the multiverse in season two.”

Stuart Fails to Save the Universe premiered July 23 following its debut at San Diego Comic-Con. The show received a “Certified Fresh” rating on Rotten Tomatoes, while HBO Max highlighted positive reviews from Slate, NPR, The Wall Street Journal, CBR, TVLine and TheWrap.
