According to a press statement from Fox, the beloved Family Guy character will star in his own spinoff, Stewie, which will premiere during the 2027-2028 season. In addition, the network has already confirmed that a second season is on the way. So, what can fans expect from the perpetual toddler's latest venture?
"After being kicked out of his old preschool, Stewie is forced to enroll in a new one that isn't exactly top-of-the-line," according to the network's synopsis. "It's attended by a few kids he doesn't know, as well as a 75-year-old class turtle who has a half-cocked theory on almost every subject. Stewie, the other kids, and the turtle are all unhappy until he rolls out his trusty array of devices to take them anywhere in space and time, turning every boring day at school into an insane and surreal adventure.”
Of course, Family Guy creator Seth McFarlane, who voices Stewie, will star in and executive produce the spinoff.
"I'd like to thank Fox for this incredible opportunity," Seth, 52, said in a statement, before laughingly adding, "and I'm excited to start pretending I'm collaborating closely with them on the show."
Family Guy, which premiered in 1999, has achieved cultural significance, running for 24 seasons and producing 450 episodes, making it one of the longest-running scripted animated series in television history.
The show follows the Griffin family, including parents Brian and Lois, and children Meg, Chris, and Stewie, with voices provided by Seth MacFarlane, Alex Borstein, Mila Kunis, and Seth Green. Despite upcoming plans for a Stewie-centric spinoff, MacFarlane has indicated no intention to end Family Guy, citing continued audience affection and positive engagement.
He remarked to the Los Angeles Times in 2024 that as long as the show's popularity remains, there is no compelling reason to conclude it. As fans await the Stewie series, they can look forward to its premiere on Fox and subsequent streaming on Hulu and Disney+
