Stewie from Family Guy is getting his own two-season spinoff series
Stewie’s new series will center on his preschool misadventures and escapades through time and space.
Family Guy
Fox is expanding the Family Guy universe with a new spinoff centered on one of its most iconic characters. The network has officially ordered ‘Stewie’, a standalone animated series focused on Stewie Griffin, the mischievous baby genius from the long-running comedy show.
Seth MacFarlane, the creator of Family Guy, will return as the voice of Stewie and will also serve as an executive producer on the project. Longtime Family Guy writer and producer Kirker Butler will take on the role of showrunner, helping shape the direction of the new series.
What the new Stewie spinoff series is about
Unlike the main Family Guy series, which follows the chaotic Griffin family in the fictional town of Quahog, the new show focuses entirely on Stewie’s life and adventures. Fox provided an official description of Stewie, which was reported earlier today by Deadline:
“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.”
Brian, the Griffin family dog and Stewie’s closest ally in the best episodes of Family Guy, is not mentioned in the synopsis. However, Deadline reports he will appear as a recurring character.
Family Guy’s Stewie spinoff release date and streaming plans
Fox has ordered two seasons of the series from the start, and the show is currently planned for the 2027–2028 television season.
Both Family Guy and Seth MacFarlane’s other Fox animated series, American Dad, are already renewed through 2029, and the new two-season order for Stewie aligns with that timeline.
When it premieres, Stewie will air on Fox and will stream the next day on Hulu in the US. International audiences will also be able to watch it through Disney+.

Disney+ app gets its own doomscrolling fix with a dedicated vertical video feed
New Verts feed lets you scroll through clips from Disney+ movies and shows
If you have ever found yourself doomscrolling through TikTok or Instagram Reels, Disney+ now wants to offer a similar experience inside its own app. The company has introduced Verts, a vertical video feed in its app to help you discover movies and shows by swiping through short clips.
With Verts, you can swipe through short vertical videos that showcase scenes, highlights, and moments from Disney+ movies and TV shows. Instead of browsing menus or searching for something to watch, you can simply scroll through a stream of short videos until something catches your attention.
YouTube Premium vs YouTube Premium Lite: Is the affordable plan better for you?
Want ad-free YouTube but not sure which plan to pick? We break it down for you.
YouTube offers two main subscription options for viewers who want an ad-free experience: the full YouTube Premium plan and the more affordable Premium Lite. While both plans remove the interruptions that come with watching YouTube for free, they differ in features, pricing, and who they’re best suited for.
If you’re thinking about subscribing but aren’t sure which plan to choose, here’s a breakdown of the key differences, including costs, features, and limitations, to help you decide whether Premium or Premium Lite is the right fit.
What is YouTube Premium Lite? All you need to know about YouTube’s cheaper plan
What’s included, what’s not, and if it’s right for you.
YouTube introduced a more affordable subscription tier in the US last year called YouTube Premium Lite, offering viewers a cheaper way to watch most videos without ads. The plan is designed for people who mainly use YouTube to watch videos and want a less interrupted viewing experience without paying for the full YouTube Premium bundle.
At launch, Premium Lite focused on one core benefit: removing ads from most videos. Since then, YouTube has updated the plan with additional features that were previously exclusive to the full Premium subscription.
