About The Big Bang Theory
The Big Bang Theory ran for 12 seasons from 2007 to 2019, following Caltech physicists Leonard and Sheldon and their friends in Pasadena. Young Sheldon (seven seasons, 2017 to 2024) rewinds to Sheldon's childhood in East Texas, and Georgie and Mandy's First Marriage (2024 onward) stays in Texas with his brother's young family. Stuart Fails to Save the Universe (HBO Max, from July 2026) brings back comic book store owner Stuart Bloom for a multiverse story set after the original show.
Release order is the easiest first watch, since each spinoff assumes you know the characters from the earlier shows. The story order below runs Young Sheldon, then Georgie and Mandy, then The Big Bang Theory, then Stuart. Stuart is the only entry that plays with alternate realities, so it sits last in both lists.
Good to know
Georgie and Mandy's season 3 is dated October 8, 2026, which falls after this post's verification date, so it is listed as upcoming. Stuart Fails to Save the Universe was renewed for season 2 in August 2026 with no premiere date set. Season years below are premiere years; several seasons span two calendar years.
