HBO Max announces Stuart Fails to Save the Universe podcast

HBO Max has announced an official companion podcast for Stuart Fails to Save the Universe, hosted by Wil Wheaton and Felicia Day.

The Stuart Fails to Save the Universe Official Podcast will release new episodes after each installment of the series, with Day and Wheaton breaking down Stuart's latest attempt to put reality back together. The hosts will discuss the show's biggest moments, Easter eggs, sci-fi references you might have missed, multiverse theories and behind-the-scenes stories from the new Big Bang Theory spin-off.

Wheaton is well known to Big Bang Theory fans for playing a fictionalized version of himself in the original series, and has long-standing sci-fi credentials from his role as Wesley Crusher on Star Trek: The Next Generation. Day created and starred in the web series The Guild, co-founded Geek & Sundry, and is also known for her recurring roles in Supernatural and Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Guests lined up for the post-episode discussion include creators Chuck Lorre, Bill Prady and Zak Penn, along with stars Kevin Sussman, Lauren Lapkus, Brian Posehn and John Ross Bowie. Check out the podcast trailer on YouTube.com.

Stuart Fails to Save the Universe premieres Thursday, July 23 at 9 p.m. ET on HBO Max. New episodes will be released weekly on Thursdays, with podcast episodes arriving alongside the show. The first season consists of 10 episodes.
