New 'Family Guy' and 'Simpsons' films are reportedly in the works

The Family Guy film adaptation will reportedly mix animation and live action elements. Meanwhile, The Simpsons is all set to hit the screens again after a decade.
PUBLISHED AUG 14, 2018

Fox is reportedly working on new movies for two of their most iconic animated series - 'The Simpsons' and 'Family Guy'. Heading into its 17th season this fall, Seth McFarlane's 'Family Guy' is now set to follow in the footsteps of 'The Simpsons' as its beloved and peculiar characters finally transition onto the big screen. 

Interestingly, as The Wall Street Journal reports, the Family Guy film adaptation is also set to collide live-action with animation, so it'll be quite interesting to see how that will pan out. Of course, this style of production isn't exactly untouched terrain for MacFarlane, given that he brought a foul-mouthed, pot-smoking teddy bear to life in the two 'Ted' films. But wait, there's more. According to the report, a Simpsons movie sequel is also in the works (following the big success of the first 2007 film) along with a film adaptation of 'Bob's Burgers' too.
