The recently reunited Essex couple were spotted at the W Hotel in London talking over a new show, The Sun reports, in a bid to increase their celebrity credentials beyond TOWIE.
'Sam and Joey were talking about how they were going to do their own spin-off show and how they'd love it to be on ITV2,' a source revealed.
'Joey said he thought Sam would be perfect starring in her own show, and that people would finally get to see her funny side.'
The pair would follow former TOWIE co-stars Amy Childs and Harry Derbidge, who secured their own reality show on Channel 5, and Mark Wright whose Hollywood Nights vehicle is currently airing on ITV2.
The insider added to The Sun that Faiers has reservations over 'coming across as stupid' in the spin-off, but that the couple 'both seem very excited' about the idea.
Joey's manager refused to confirm the existence of a new TOWIE show, but hinted that Essex is looking for new opportunities, saying: 'There is nothing official being discussed yet and there are no plans for Joey to go anywhere at the minute. But the guys may chat about ideas they have.'
Faiers and Essex may want to exercise caution with regards to leaving the show, with TOWIE regular Kirk Norcross having all but disappeared after exiting to appear on Celebrity Big Brother.

Coryton Oil Refinery: 180 job cuts announced - BBC News
About 180 jobs are being cut at the Coryton Oil Refinery in Essex, its administrators have announced.
The refinery on the Thames Estuary went into administration in January after its parent company, Swiss-based Petroplus, collapsed.
Administrators PwC, now running Coryton, said the redundancies will happen next week.
Discussions will take place in the coming days with affected individuals, PwC said in a statement.
These are the first significant job losses since the refinery was placed in administration.
The refinery employs around 500 full-time staff and 350 contractors.
At the end of May the administrator announced that despite having contact with 100 possible investors and purchasers it had not been possible to find a solution which sees the refinery continue as a going concern.
The administrator has confirmed that while it continues to work with various parties who have expressed an interest in acquiring the Coryton site, it is highly unlikely that it will be sold as a refinery.
Last week the government ruled out state aid for the plant, saying that "overcapacty in the refining industry and declining demand for petrol mean that it would not be sustainable for government to provide assistance".

Drink-drive crash: Tracy Watts was four times over the legal alcohol limit when she crashed her sports car
A police officer is facing jail after she admitted crashing a sports car while four times over the drink-drive limit after binge drinking on a bottle of vodka.
Tracy Watts was arrested after crashing her MG TF into a bollard along Southend seafront, Essex, while heavily drunk.
Watts admitted she had drunk a bottle of vodka when questioned by cops at the scene of the early evening crash.
The 31-year-old appeared at Southend Magistrates’ Court today wearing a black suit, white blouse and sky blue jumper.
She hung her head as she appeared in the dock and pleaded guilty to a single charge of drink-driving.
Watts, who worked as a WPC for City of London Police, was warned she faces up to six months in jail when sentenced.
Lead magistrate Roger Harbidge said: 'This makes for very disturbing reading and it is only good fortune you did not injure anyone else.
'You must understand a custodial sentence is very likely in this case.'
Watts will now have to wait to discover her fate while a full probation report is prepared.
The court heard how Watts collided with a bollard along Eastern Esplanade, in Southend, at around 7.15pm on March 26 this year.
Police and an ambulance rushed to the scene where Watts admitted to officers from Essex Police that she had consumed a bottle of vodka before the crash.
No other people were injured and Watts was rushed to a local hospital and a blood sample was taken.
She recorded a blood-alcohol level of 320mg of alcohol in 100ml of blood - four times over the UK drink-drive limit of 80mcg per 100ml.
Watts, from Shoeburyness, Essex, resigned from her role as a City of London police officer less than a fortnight after the crash.
Crash site: The seafront in Southend, Essex, where Tracy Watts crashed her car in March. Today she admitted drink-driving and warned she faces jail
Miss Bo-Eun Jung, mitigating, said her client had underlying drink problems and was working to deal with them.
She told the court: 'My client has underlying psychological and alcohol problems which are being looked at.'
Watts was given unconditional bail and received an interim banning order meaning she is disqualified from driving until the outcome of the case.
She is due to be sentenced at Southend Magistrates’ Court later this year.

Essex may not be the only way for on-off TV couple...
The Only Way Is Essex couple Sam Faiers and Joey Essex are reportedly considering splitting from the hit ITV2 "scripted reality" show in order to appear in their own spin-off programme.
The Sun claims that the on-off pair see themselves as the next Katie Price and Peter Andre - and alleges that they met at London's W Hotel to discuss the deal last week.
A source told the paper: "Sam and Joey were talking about how they were going to do their own spin-off show and how they’d love it to be on ITV2.
"Joey said he thought Sam would be perfect starring in her own show and that people would finally get to see her funny side."
But Joey's manager was tight-lipped about the matter when approached by the paper.
He said: "There is nothing official being discussed yet and there are no plans for Joey to go anywhere at the minute.
"But the guys may chat about ideas they have."
