After a remarkable 27-year run, FOX's iconic animated series "Family Guy" is set to launch its second spin-off. The first, "The Cleveland Show," aired from 2009 to 2013, lasting only four seasons before its cancellation. Now, nearly 13 years later, a new "Family Guy" derivative is officially in the works.
FOX and streaming platform Hulu have announced a dedicated solo series for the popular "Family Guy" supporting character, Stewie. Titled "Stewie," the show has also unveiled its first concept art (pictured below).

FOX appears to have significant confidence in "Stewie," having immediately greenlit an initial two-season order. Naturally, "Family Guy" creator and Stewie's voice actor, Seth MacFarlane, will continue in both roles for the new series. "Stewie" is slated to premiere in 2025 or 2026.
The plot synopsis for "Stewie" has also been released: After being expelled from his original preschool, Stewie is forced to transfer to a new one. However, the new environment proves to be no better. The class has very few students, and the teacher is a 75-year-old turtle who explains almost everything with the same unreliable theories. Stewie, his classmates, and even the turtle teacher are all miserable. That is, until Stewie introduces his time machine, transforming their monotonous school days into a series of wild and surreal adventures. The series is reportedly set in an independent timeline, ensuring it will not impact Stewie's ongoing storyline within "Family Guy."
