Family Guy Exec Producers Sign Deal With Fox

People associated with Family Guy are being successful? STFU!

Writer/Producers Alec Sulkin and Wellesley Wild from the hit animated series are getting their day. They’ve both signed overall deals with 20th Century Fox.

The duo will still be associated with Family Guy as Executive Producers, but no longer as show-runners. They’ll also be getting involved in development with new shows.

No detailed information on the subject matter of their new show, but it looks like it might be a live-action comedy. Here’s what the guys had to say about this promotion:

“We have always felt like 20th was our home, so we’re thrilled to solidify our relationship with the studio.”

And more from the duo:

“We have had a tremendous opportunity working with Seth, and are excited to continue on Family Guy, and look forward to the new projects we will develop over the next three years.”

Congrats, guys! Let us know if you need any ideas. You could always do another spinoff, such as a live-action Quagmire show starring Kevin Dillon. He’ll be done with Entourage soon!

Robot Chicken Returns!

And it’s not going anywhere!

Adult Swim just renewed Robot Chicken for another 2 seasons, resulting in an unheard of order for 40 episodes!

“It’s kind of amazing,” said co-creator, Seth Green. “We never expected to do a second season, let alone a fifth and sixth. We’re really busy, but we’re still having a lot of fun making it.”

Seth and his co-creator Matthew Senreich serve as exec producers and continue to write for the show.

Loves it!
