Family Guy's Stewie Gets Two-Season Spinoff Series on Hulu with New Ensemble Cast

There are conflicting reports about the class turtle's age: some outlets describe him as a '75 year-old class turtle', while others call him a '100-year-old class turtle'.
The stewie spin-off is being produced with executive producer credits for Kara Vallow, alongside co-creators Seth MacFarlane and Kirker Butler, with 20th Television Animation as the studio.
Mike Henry returns as BJ, Stewie's gossipy new classmate, and this character is described as the son of Bruce—the neighbor from the main Family Guy series, who is also voiced by Henry.
Bean, Stewie's new classmate, is characterized in official materials as a 'man-of-very-few-words' who was dropped on his head 'one too many times'.
Fox has ordered two full seasons of a Family Guy spinoff called Stewie, with Seth MacFarlane returning to voice the beloved baby — and a brand-new classmate. The show is set to premiere during the 2027-28 TV season, with next-day streaming on Hulu and international streaming on Disney+, according to AOL.
The ensemble voice cast is now set. It includes SNL veterans Kenan Thompson and Vanessa Bayer, plus Mike Henry returning from the main Family Guy series as BJ — the gossipy son of Bruce, a neighbor character Henry also voices, Just Jared reported.
The show follows Stewie Griffin as he uses his inventions to whisk his new classmates on wild trips through space and time. The group is less than thrilled about the adventures. The class also includes a turtle who is either 75 or 100 years old — outlets conflict on the exact age, per Head Topics.
Stewie's class also has a party-loving teacher. The premise keeps MacFarlane's character front and center while surrounding him with a mix of new faces and familiar Family Guy energy, according to Yahoo.
Seth MacFarlane voices two characters: Stewie and a new classmate named Bean. Bean is described in official materials as a 'man-of-very-few-words' who was dropped on his head 'one too many times,' AOL reported. MacFarlane co-created the show alongside Kirker Butler.
The rest of the cast includes Kenan Thompson as Royal, Vanessa Bayer as Morgan, Melissa O'Neil as Wanda, Jessica Lowe as Caroline, and Aaron Lee as Skunk. Mike Henry plays BJ, Stewie's gossipy new classmate and the son of Bruce from the original series, according to Just Jared.
Mike Henry's casting is a direct link to the parent show. He voices Bruce, a recurring Family Guy neighbor, in the main series. Now he plays BJ — Bruce's son — in the spinoff. It is a rare case of a side character's family member getting a featured role in a new show, per Mandatory.
The show is produced by 20th Television Animation. Executive producer credits go to Kara Vallow alongside co-creators MacFarlane and Butler. Fox committed to two seasons upfront — a strong vote of confidence for an unaired show, according to Head Topics.
The 2027-28 premiere window gives the team roughly two years of production time. Hulu gets next-day streaming rights in the US, while Disney+ will carry the show internationally, AOL reported.
