A main cast member of The Big Bang Theory is fanning flames of rumors that they will be in Stuart Fails to Save the Universe with a nostalgic image. 6 years after The Big Bang Theory ended, Chuck Lorre’s sitcom franchise is thriving on CBS with Young Sheldon, which wrapped up in 2024, and now Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage.
That said, the producer extraordinaire is about to further expand it with his first venture from the nerd-centric universe on a streaming platform. Stuart Fails to Save the Universe will put Kevin Sussman’s comic book shop owner at the forefront of its storytelling.
As work on Stuart Fails to Save the Universe continues quietly behind-the-scenes, Kunal Nayyar shares an image of The Big Bang Theory main set on his Instagram. Aside from evoking nostalgia, it also fuels rumors that he would be in Stuart Fails to Save the Universe. Interestingly, both Sussman and Lauren Lapkus (Denise) liked the post. Check it out below:
What Raj’s Possible Appearance In Stuart Fails To Save The Universe Means For The Spinoff
It’s A Chance To Give Raj A Proper Ending
It’s no secret that Raj got the shortest end of the stick in terms of main character stories in The Big Bang Theory. Oftentimes, he was treated like an afterthought, with his plots not getting the focus that they needed. Raj could have ended up with Anu in The Big Bang Theory, but that arc was cut short.
Specific plot details about Stuart Fails to Save The Universe, but bringing back Nayyar’s Raj would give Lorre the chance to make up for his underwheming personal fate. While it’s unlikely that he will be a series regular, being a recurring character can give the show enough time to fix the character’s story.
For what it’s worth, Nayyar himself has been transparent about wanting to revisit the role again. The Big Bang Theory ended because of Jim Parsons’ decision to leave the show after season 12. So it’s understandable that most of the cast has been eager to reprise their roles in any capacity.

Stuart’s Spinoff Can Also Benefit From The Cameo
Bringing back Raj in the new The Big Bang Theory spinoff isn’t only beneficial to Nayyar’s character. It also has massive benefits for Lorre’s upcoming show. As an actor synonymous with the main show, seeing Raj again would draw people to at least check out Stuart Fails to Save the Universe.
Nayyar hasn’t been back to the franchise since The Big Bang Theory ended. Aside from Simon Helberg and Kaley Cuoco voice cameos, the Young Sheldon finale featured the physical return of Jim Parsons and Mayim Bialik as Sheldon and Amy. Stuart’s spinoff would be a great opportunity to see Raj again.
