Seth MacFarlane has signed an overall deal with 20th Century Fox TV, which would reportedly make him the highest-paid writer- producer working on television.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the new deal could be worth more than $100 million and it keeps MacFarlane at 20th Century Fox TV through 2012.
Among the properties covered by the pact are MacFarlane's current Fox shows "Family Guy" and "American Dad!," plus the "Family Guy" spin-off "The Cleveland Show," which is expected to be picked up to series for next season. It covers his roles as writer-producer on the three shows and also encompasses his capacity as lead vocal talent.
In addition to the three animated series, MacFarlane is also developing a live-action, multi-camera sitcom with "Family Guy" scribe Gary Janetti.
