Fans Demand Family Guy Movie as Simpsons Sequel Announced

In the lead-up to the release of a new Halloween-themed Family Guy special, co-showrunner Alec Sulkin shared his thoughts on the recent announcement of a Simpsons Movie sequel. Sulkin expressed excitement about the prospect of a wide theatrical release for a flat-out comedy, a rarity in today's entertainment landscape.

Sulkin acknowledged the mixed reactions to the Simpsons sequel news, with some fans questioning why the world is getting another Simpsons movie while they're still waiting on a full-length Family Guy feature. The co-showrunner suggested that series creator Seth MacFarlane may be holding off on a Family Guy movie to avoid the pressure and speculation that could come with a second installment.

However, Sulkin hinted at the possibility of an ambitious crossover event film, bringing together the casts of Family Guy, The Simpsons, Bob's Burgers, and American Dad, along with the foul-mouthed bear from Ted and the crew from The Orville. If such a project were to materialize, Sulkin joked that it could be scheduled to play an hour after the Simpsons sequel, providing a one-two punch of animated comedy on the big screen.
