The Halloween special will feature Glen Powell (Twisters, Hit Man) voicing the reigning champion in Quahog’s annual Pumpkin Contest, and Derek Jacobi (Gosford Park, Gladiator) as Rupert, Stewie’s beloved teddy bear.
Halloween special logline: Peter and his friends aim to unseat the reigning champion (Powell) in Quahog’s annual Pumpkin Contest by any means necessary.
Season 23 of Family Guy is expected to return to Fox in 2025. In the upcoming seaosn, 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.
