In August 2010, Wild and his writing partner Alec Sulkin signed a three-year pact with 20th Century Fox TV.[2] The two will continue working on Family Guy and will develop their own television series.[3] Discussing whether the new series would be a live action or an animation, Wild said, "We've been throwing around both ideas."[4] Their joint production, Dads premiered on September 17, 2013.

He co-wrote the 2012 film Ted with Sulkin and MacFarlane, and also wrote the 2014 film A Million Ways to Die in the West and Ted 2 (2015). He served as co-executive producer along with MacFarlane for MacFarlane's show, The Orville. Wild was also the showrunner for the revival of Animaniacs, which premiered on Hulu in 2020.[5]
