Ian McKellen Heading To “Family Guy”

Hopefully, Ian will cast down the tyranny of Gary Janetti as he shops a live-action adaptation of The Jetsons.

Ahead of their upcoming panel at San Diego Comic Con, it has been officially announced that Ian McKellen (X-Men) will be guest starring in an upcoming episode of Family Guy as a child psychologist named Dr. Pritchfield. Turns out, the practitioner is called in to help Stewie after he misbehaves at school.

The episode was written by the guy who thinks a live-action adaptation of The Jetsons is a good thing, and Entertainment Weekly has your first-look at the character here.

Family Guy returns October 1st on FOX.
