Seth MacFarlane Takes on a New Frontier with the Peacock Series Adaptation
Seth MacFarlane created the series The Orville, Family Guy, American Dad, and The Cleveland Show. Now MacFarlane is making a Peacock adaptation series of The Shrouded College. He has worn many hats in Hollywood and explored genres other than comedy. The Orville pays homage to the Star Trek franchise and though it has lots of drama, it still has lots of lighthearted moments. The Peacock series adaption is adventure-horror, and the horror part is new to MacFarlane’s work. Seth MacFarlane may contribute to the script of The Shrouded College or not. He does however have a lucrative deal with NBCUniversal and Universal Studio Group. To say studio executives trust his creative eye, would be an understatement. No matter how audiences take MacFarlane’s work on The Shrouded College series adaptation, he is still in a good place.
