Stewie Griffin in Family Guy / FOX
FOX has ordered a Family Guy spinoff centred around the character of Stewie Griffin, it has been announced.
The show, Stewie, has been given a two-season order and will premiere in the 2027-28 season, with Seth MacFarlane on board as creator and voice of the titular character.
A synopsis for the show reads: “After getting the boot from his old preschool, Stewie is forced to enroll in a new one that’s not exactly top-of-the-line. It’s attended by a handful of kids he doesn’t know, and a 75 year-old class turtle with a half-cocked theory on just about every subject.
“Stewie’s miserable, the other kids are miserable, and even the turtle is miserable… until Stewie begins rolling 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.”
MacFarlane said: “I’d like to thank Fox for this incredible opportunity, and I’m excited to start pretending I’m collaborating closely with them on the show.”
The show will be available internationally via Disney+ and follows confirmation last year that Family Guy will continue until at least 2029.
