Family Guy vetrans Alec Sulkin and Wellesley Wild have both signed overall deals with 20th Century Fox TV according to Deadline. The deal means that they'll both continue to work on Family Guy as executive producers whilst getting a go at developing new shows for Fox.
It is expected that their first new show will be something live-action as opposed to another animated series.
Sulkin and Wild have been with Family Guy since it returned to Fox in 2005.
"We have always felt like 20th was our home, so we’re thrilled to solidify our relationship with the studio," Sulkin and Wild said. "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.”
The writing duo started out on the first season of CBS's The Late Show with Craig Kilborn and have recently sold an R-rated feature film called Ted to Universal Pictures alongside Seth MacFarlane.
