A new spinoff for The Big Bang Theory is currently in the works at Warner Bros, and while much remains a mystery, there are still several important details already revealed. As Young Sheldon proved, shows like The Big Bang Theory are essentially the perfect formula for spinoff projects, with their wide cast of characters that audiences will always want to know more about, whether that’s in the future or the past. Although it’s unclear who the protagonist of this new spinoff is going to be, there are countless options from the original show that could be worthy candidates.
Young Sheldon was the first spinoff in the Big Bang Theory universe, and was a huge success both critically and commercially. The show follows a younger version of The Big Bang Theory’s Sheldon Cooper as he navigates teenage life and learns to find his place in a world that’s often unwilling to accept him. Despite displaying a different tone from the original sitcom, the show was a ratings juggernaut and added something new by enriching the history of the title character. While details are slim, it’s likely that The Big Bang Theory spinoff will aim to repeat that formula.
