John Ross Bowie in New Big Bang Theory Spinoff

John Ross Bowie is set to reprise his role as Barry Kripke in a new spinoff of 'The Big Bang Theory' on Warner Bros.' streaming service Max. The spinoff, still in development and not yet greenlit, will see the return of supporting characters from the original series, including Kevin Sussman (Stuart Bloom), Brian Posehn (Bert Kibbler), and Lauren Lapkus (Denise). Bowie, who played Kripke in 25 episodes, has signed a talent holding deal with Warner Bros. Television, signaling strong interest in moving the project forward. Original series co-creator Chuck Lorre and co-creator Bill Prady are involved in the new project, with Zak Penn co-writing the script. Despite uncertainty around the series' approval, the recruitment of these actors suggests promising developments for fans of the franchise. The spinoff will mark the fourth entry in the 'Big Bang Theory' universe, following the original show and its prequel, 'Young Sheldon'.
