Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane has plans for a feature-length Family Guy movie that will be released in theaters. MacFarlane has known the plot for the movie for the past 15 years but hasn’t had the time to get to it. During a panel at PaleyFest, MacFarlane said, “I have known what that movie will be for the past 15 years and I just haven’t had the time to get to it, but I do know what it will be.”
The first Family Guy movie, Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story, was released direct-to-video in 2005. The story follows Stewie, who, after having a near-death experience, decides to try and find who he thinks is his real father after seeing the man on TV. When they meet face-to-face, however, Stewie discovers that the man is actually him from the future.
A feature film has been in the works since 2007, with MacFarlane saying that the story is “something that you could not do on the show, which [to him] is the only reason to do a movie” and that he sees it as “an old-style musical with dialogue.” It was announced in 2014, however, that the movie had been put on hold due to the filming of Ted 2.
MacFarlane has not provided any further details about the plot or release date of the Family Guy movie. However, fans of the show can expect a hilarious and entertaining film when it finally hits theaters.
