    Details:

    >The new animated comedy, which will follow Stewie in preschool and explore time and space travel, comes from Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane and 20th Television Animation. It is targeted to premiere on Fox during the 2027-28 season, streaming next day on Hulu and internationally on Disney+.

    >In the offshoot, 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.

    >It is still early days but I hear the spinoff will have its own world at a new school with new characters and will not impact Stewie on Family Guy where the eloquent toddler with upper-class British accent currently attends Quahog Preschool.

    >Brian is expected to make appearances on the offshoot.

  2. I’d say this is jumping the shark usually but that’s kind of in Family Guy’s wheelhouse so maybe this can actually work lol.

  3. Ngl, I’d like to see what Seth could do with a Johnny Bravo reboot in today’s world. I know he worked on the original, so it’d be like riding a bike for him.

    I haven’t watched Family Guy in over a decade, but isn’t Stewie basically the main character of that show along with Brian? This seems odd.

    Young Stewie, with all the episodes taking place inside the womb to cut down on costs.

  6. >In 2025, *Family Guy* delivered more than 3 billion total multiplatform minutes watched and ranked as the second most-watched adult animation streaming title and the No. 7 streaming program, charting on Nielsen’s Streaming Top 10 for 37 weeks, while *American Dad!* ranked as the third most-watched adult animation streaming title.

    Makes sense why they’re trying to make more shows with his name attached to them.

  7. If Seth is back creatively, sounds good. But he hasn’t written or been involved with anything Family Guy except for the voices in a long time.

    Honestly the premise sounds kind of interesting… almost like a magic school bus kind of thing but with Stewie as the leader

    I haven’t watched Family Guy in years, but wouldn’t this basically be the “Road To” episodes they have/used to have?

  10. I’m willing to support this if it opens the door for that Fellow Traveler backdoor pilot from American Dad
