Fans of the nerd group around Sheldon Cooper & Co. can look forward to supplies. A few days ago, a new The Big Bang Theory series was announced, which will be the second offshoot from the sitcom universe after Young Sheldon. The details are still vague, however Fans should not adjust to the familiar and well-known.

From the original Variety report on the upcoming TBBT spin-off, little information can be gleaned about the content of the new series. In addition to the involvement of the original showrunner Chuck Lorre, the following details should probably be certain:
The last point in particular suggests that a radical reorientation of the TBBT brand is being tackled here.
