Family Guy To Address Whether Or Not Stewie Is Gay

TVLine reports that a March episode of Family Guy will finally address whether or not Stewie Griffin is gay. The episode will include Ian McKellen as the voice of Stewie’s therapist. Executive producer Rich Appel noted that while it’s one of the topics they’ll discuss, it’s only “the tip of the iceberg.”

He added: “It’s just a two-character episode with Stewie in his therapist’s office for the first time. It’s a wonderful episode, and Seth’s performance is spectacular. They delve into all sorts of things you would think would come up in a therapy session with a boy like Stewie. When Stewie’s with his therapist, they pretty immediately address questions of sexuality. The episode covers that, and then goes to deeper issues for Stewie.”

The episode will have limited commercial interruptions. The series returns on March 11 at 9 PM ET on FOX.
