Stuart Fails to Save the Universe coming to San Diego Comic-Con
Stuart Fails to Save the Universe is heading to San Diego Comic-Con later this month, just in time for its July 23 premiere.
The Max Original series will be featured at the convention with a panel in Hall H, a cast and creators signing session and an off-site fan experience inspired by Stuart's comic book store, the Comic Center of Pasadena.
The series follows Stuart Bloom (Kevin Sussman) after he accidentally breaks a device built by Sheldon and Leonard, setting off a multiverse catastrophe. Stuart sets out to restore reality with his girlfriend Denise (Lauren Lapkus), geologist friend Bert (Brian Posehn) and the ever-irritating quantum physicist Barry Kripke (John Ross Bowie), encountering alternate versions of familiar Big Bang Theory characters along the way.
From Thursday, July 23 through Sunday, July 26, HBO Max will host a Stuart Fails to Save the Universe fan experience at Sparks Gallery, 530 Sixth Avenue in San Diego. The off-site activation will recreate the Comic Center of Pasadena, known to fans of The Big Bang Theory, and send fans on a portal-hopping journey through the new show's characters and multiverse. The experience will include interactive moments, photo opportunities with a replica of the machine from the series, exclusive merchandise and a personalized collectible takeaway.
The off-site activation will be open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, July 23-25, and from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday, July 26.
Inside the convention, HBO Max will present a Stuart Fails to Save the Universe panel in Hall H at the San Diego Convention Center from 2:15 to 3:15 p.m. on Thursday, July 23. The panel will include an exclusive advance screening of the premiere followed by a discussion with creators Chuck Lorre, Bill Prady and Zak Penn, and stars Kevin Sussman, Lauren Lapkus, Brian Posehn and John Ross Bowie. Felicia Day will moderate.
Ahead of the panel, the cast and creators will appear for a signing session at the DC booth, #4544, from 12:30 to 1 p.m.
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 ten episodes in the first season.
