Family Guy Spinoff Stewie Set to Premiere: Everything to Know

by

What the deuce? The answer is more Stewie Griffin.

Fox has announced that Stewie Griffin, the popular character from Family Guy, will star in his own spinoff show, simply titled Stewie. The show is scheduled to debut during the 2027–2028 television season, and Fox has already renewed it for a second season. Fans are eager to find out what adventures await the mischievous toddler in his new series.

Stewie has to switch preschools after being expelled from his old one, and his new school isn’t great. He’s surrounded by unfamiliar kids and a very old turtle who thinks he knows everything. Everyone is unhappy at first, but Stewie quickly changes things by using his inventions to take the whole class on wild, imaginative journeys through space and time, making school an exciting adventure.

Seth MacFarlane, the creator and voice of Stewie on Family Guy, will star in and executive produce the new spinoff.

Seth, age 52, expressed his gratitude to Fox for the chance to work on the show. He then playfully added that he looks forward to appearing as though he’s working closely with them on it.

Since it first aired in 1999, Family Guy has become a major part of popular culture. The show, which centers on the Griffin family – parents Lois and Brian, their children Meg, Chris, and Stewie, and their dog Brian – has run for an impressive 24 seasons and over 450 episodes.

Besides Seth, the animated show—which has been on TV for a very long time—also stars the voices of Alex Borstein, Mila Kunis, and Seth Green, along with many other talented actors.

Even though Stewie is getting his own show, Seth MacFarlane isn’t planning to end the adventures of the Griffin family anytime soon.

The TV star recently told the Los Angeles Times that they used to think it would be best to end the show while it was still popular. Now, however, they see no reason to stop. As long as viewers continue to enjoy the show and ratings remain strong, they’re happy to keep going. They explained that they’d only consider ending it if the audience lost interest, but that hasn’t happened yet.

Actually, things are going really well, and the news about Stewie is further proof of that. However, fans will need to be patient until the Family Guy spin-off officially premieres on Fox and becomes available to stream on Hulu and Disney+ the next day.

In the meantime, see what other shows will be premiering on television in 2026…

It really explores what truly connects families, and how those bonds hold strong even through life’s changes.
