Fox's Stewie Announces Voice Cast; Clash of the Thundermans Premiere Date and Details, with Ariel Winter Joining the Cast

Fox has announced the voices of the Family Guy spin-off series Stewie, coming in 2027-28. Kenan Thompson (Royal), Vanessa Bayer (Morgan), Mike Henry (BJ), Jessica Lowe (Caroline), Melissa O'Neil (Wanda), and Aaron Lee (Skunk) join Seth MacFarlane (who also voices Bean).

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.

Hold onto your capes! At San Diego for Comic-Con(R) International, Paramount+ revealed the premiere date and key art for Clash of the Thundermans.

Faced with the prospect of sending Chloe away for years, the Thunderman family is split down the middle, with Max, Hank and Nora wanting to hand her over for her own safety, and Phoebe, Barb and Billy willing to ignore orders to keep her with her family.

Dan Stevens also announced via a pre-recorded video that the hit adult animation series has been renewed for a sixth season. Solar Opposites season five premieres on August 12 with all 11 episodes, with a Halloween special coming later this year. Solar Opposites centers around a team of four aliens who are evenly split on whether Earth is awful or awesome. Korvo (Dan Stevens) and Yumyulack (Sean Giambrone) only see the pollution, crass consumerism, and human frailty while Terry (Thomas Middleditch) and Jesse (Mary Mack) love TV, junk food and fun stuff. On season 5, now that alien mission partners Terry and Korvo are married, the whole Solar Opposites team are focused on family values. Starring Dan Stevens, Thomas Middleditch, Sean Giambrone, Mary Mack.

At the Family Guy San Diego Comic-Con panel, the cast and producers revealed that the first of two Hulu Exclusive holiday specials will premiere Monday, October 14 on Hulu. The Halloween special will feature Glen Powell as the reigning champion in Quahog's annual Pumpkin Contest and Derek Jacobi as Rupert the teddy bear. Peter and his friends aim to unseat the reigning champion (Glen Powell, Anyone But You, Twisters) in Quahog’s annual Pumpkin Contest by any means necessary. In Season 23, Peter accidentally exposes his inability to throw a ball, Meg starts dating the giant chicken’s son and Chris loses his earring in a Lord of the Rings-inspired escapade. Additionally, Stewie finds out his stuffed bear Rupert was made in China and makes it his mission to take him back there to meet his family. The series will also parody The White Lotus, as the Griffin family vacation at a luxury resort, where Stewie worries that his wealthy new friends plan to sacrifice him in a volcano.

American Dad! Returns Labor Day on TBS; Krapopolis Gets Special Nov. 27 Preview on Fox

At San Diego Comic Con, TBS announced the return of new episodes from season 17 of American Dad! on Monday, September 5 at 10 p.m. ET/9 p.m. CT. American Dad! centers on super patriotic CIA agent Stan Smith (voiced by Seth MacFarlane) and the misadventures of his unconventional family in Langley Falls, VA. Stan applies the same drastic measures used in his job at the CIA to his home life, where Stan's blissfully unaware wife, Francine (Wendy Schaal), has an unfaltering loyalty that makes her blind to his unabashed arrogance. His left-wing activist daughter Hayley (Rachael MacFarlane), however, doesn’t let him off so easily and knows just how to push her father's buttons, unlike her dopey, well-intentioned husband Jeff (Jeff Fischer) who doesn't know much of anything. Son Steve (Scott Grimes) is a geeky-yet-confident kid who spends his time playing video games and obsessing about the opposite sex. The Smith cabinet is rounded out by two rather unconventional members: Roger (MacFarlane), a sassy, sarcastic and routinely inappropriate space alien, and Klaus (Dee Bradley Baker), an attention-starved goldfish with the brain of a German Olympic skier.

This season also features a special guest lineup including Terry Crews as Heinrich Brown, a ruthless insurance adjuster hellbent on bringing bad drivers to justice but trapped behind the façade of his macho exterior is a tender man with a song in his heart; Jared Harris as Merlin, a busy, always on-the-go, multi-hyphenate, wizard. Even though he's the most powerful being in his realm, Merlin still relies on a team of employees to help juggle his numerous projects and appearances; Laurie Metcalf as Eilzabeth, a leading egg scientist and researcher at Groff Community College; Jason Isaacs as Jumpers, the leader of a manipulative gang of frogs – he’s as evil as he is charming, and he'll stop at nothing to make sure he gets what he wants; and Patti Harrison as Ali, a really cool sophomore girl who pops ghost peppers like they’re nothing, and thinks love doesn’t exist. Steve can’t resist her.

Announced at San Diego Comic Con, fans can catch a special preview episode of upcoming animated comedy Krapopolis on Sunday, November 27, 2022 on Fox, ahead of its 2023 premiere! Also, be sure to stop by Krapopolis.com for the ultimate fan experience with access to Krapopolis' burgeoning digital ancient civilization. Grab your exclusive Krap Chicken NFT while they are still available and enter for a chance to win a trip to Greece!

Highly anticipated new animated series from Dan Harmon (co-creator of Rick and Morty), Krapopolis centers on a flawed family of humans, gods and monsters that tries to run one of the world's first cities without killing each other. In the series, Richard Ayoade (The IT Crowd), voices "Tyrannis", the mortal son of a goddess. He's the benevolent King of Krapopolis trying to make do in a city that lives up to its name. Hannah Waddingham (Ted Lasso), plays "Deliria," Tyrannis' mother, goddess of self-destruction and questionable choices. Within her extended Olympian family - forged in patricide and infidelity - she's known as the trashy one. Matt Berry (What We Do in The Shadows) is "Shlub," Tyrannis' father, a mantitaur (half centaur [horse + human], half manticore [lion + human + scorpion]). He is oversexed and underemployed, claims to be an artist and has literally never paid for anything, in any sense of that word, for his entire life. Pam Murphy (Mapleworth Murders) voices "Stupendous," Tyrannis' half-sister, daughter of Deliria and a cyclops. Duncan Trussell (The Midnight Gospel) plays "Hippocampus," Tyrannis' half-brother, offspring of Shlub and a mermaid, and, obviously, a hot mess, biologically speaking.
