Family Guy’s Stewie Getting His Own Spinoff Series

According to a Deadline exclusive, Fox and Hulu have ordered two seasons of Stewie, a new animated comedy spinoff from Family Guy centered on the Griffins' brilliant, sometimes evil, toddler. Created by Seth MacFarlane and produced by 20th Television Animation, the series will follow Stewie's preschool adventures, exploring subjects like time travel and space. The show is scheduled to debut on Fox during the 2027-28 season, with next-day availability on Hulu and international streaming on Disney+.

Stewie will join Fox’s existing lineup of long-running 20th TV Animation hits: Family Guy and American Dad! (both by MacFarlane), as well as The Simpsons and Bob’s Burgers. All four received four-season renewals in 2025. By giving Stewie a two-year order, all five shows will now be renewed through 2029—coinciding with the expiration of Fox’s $1.5 billion in-season streaming deal with Hulu, owned by Disney’s 20th TV.

Stewie will include nods to Family Guy and feature guest appearances but will chiefly focus on Stewie’s daily life at his new school, introducing new characters and storylines. MacFarlane will continue voicing Stewie and serve as executive producer for Fuzzy Door. This project marks Fuzzy Door’s second Family Guy spinoff—the first was The Cleveland Show, which aired on Fox for four seasons.
