NBC will also air The Americas: Mother's Day in 2027. In this special, the most resilient moms on Earth prove that love and a little ingenuity can conquer just about anything. Set against the nation's sweeping landscapes, the special reveals how animal motherhood is shaped by the environments they inhabit and the legacy of the land itself. Both heartfelt and illuminating, it offers a fresh perspective on familiar stories, reminding us that raising the next generation is the greatest adventure of all.

Across the entire television landscape, NBC is the uncontested leader in delivering family favorite holiday specials and live events and this season will be bigger than ever.

Highway to Heaven, the globally celebrated drama that captured the hearts of audiences around the world over the course of its five-season run, is coming to FOX. Acclaimed writer-producer Jason Katims (Friday Night Lights, Parenthood, Roswell), helms this new take on the beloved television classic originally created by the legendary Michael Landon.

Also coming in 2027-28: brand-new Family Guy spinoff Stewie, from creator Seth MacFarlane. In Stewie, the world’s most beloved talking baby steps into the spotlight with the latest Family Guy spinoff from creator Seth MacFarlane. 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. MacFarlane voices Stewie and will executive-produce for Fuzzy Door. The series was created by MacFarlane and Kirker Butler, who executive-produces with Kara Vallow. Butler serves as showrunner. The series is produced by 20th Television Animation.
