“Stewie” synopsis follows: In the offshoot, 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.

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.

It is still early days but the spinoff will have its own world at a new school with new characters and will not impact Stewie on Family Guy canon. Brian is expected to make appearances on the offshoot
