- Quick Answer: Fox is launching a Family Guy spinoff titled Stewie. The series follows Stewie’s adventures at a new preschool and won't affect the main show.
Fox and Hulu have announced that Family Guy fan-favorite character Stewie Griffin is set to star in his own spinoff series.
As the hit animated comedy series continues to air new episodes and has run for almost three decades, fans have been wondering about its future and whether there are plans to extend the franchise. It previously aired the spin-off series The Cleveland Show, which ran for four seasons before it was canceled.
What to Expect in the Stewie Griffin Spinoff Series
Deadline confirmed that Fox and Hulu have given a two-season order for the Family Guy spinoff series titled Stewie. It is planned to premiere on Fox during the 2027-28 season, before it becomes available for streaming on Hulu the next day.
Seth MacFarlane will serve as co-creator, executive producer, and reprise the voice role of Stewie Griffin from the parent series. The number of episodes each season remains unknown, but it will likely be fewer than 15.
In the spinoff series, 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.
Fans should still be able to see familiar elements as the spinoff series will also feature Stewie's favorite teddy bear, Rupert, and the time machine pad that he built on Family Guy, which led to his many time-travel adventures with Brian.
How the Stewie Griffin Spinoff Will Impact Family Guy
The biggest question for fans is how the Stewie Griffin spinoff series will impact the events in Family Guy and whether it means that he will disappear from the world of the Griffin family.
Fortunately, Stewie will not have any impact on Family Guy, since it will have its own world at a new school with new characters. The character will still be part of the parent series, unlike Cleveland Brown, who disappeared when his spinoff started.
Brian Griffin is also expected to make appearances in various episodes of the series, although there are no details yet on whether the rest of the Griffin family will also participate.
For now, stay tuned for news and updates regarding the spinoff series in the coming months.
