Get ready, fans of animated hilarity! Seth MacFarlane's beloved series, *American Dad*, is making a triumphant return to Fox in 2026. Alongside it, new episodes of MacFarlane's other iconic show, *Family Guy*, will also grace the network once more. This marks a significant homecoming for both series, which were originally part of Fox's lineup from 2005 to 2014 before shifting to TBS until March of this year. The move back to Fox underscores the network's strategy to maintain a "winning position" in primetime television programming.

Fox Entertainment CEO Rob Wade expressed enthusiasm about the upcoming season, stating via Variety, “Building on our winning position in both key demos and co-viewing this season, Fox delivers a 2025-26 schedule that’s filled with irreverence, fun and much-needed laughter. Next year more than ever, we’re bringing that promise to life with a terrific slate to delight our audiences across linear, Hulu and beyond.”

Fox is buzzing with new developments regarding their programming strategies. They've recently announced the launch of their new streaming service, Fox One. This platform will seamlessly blend news, sports, and entertainment programming, offering both live streaming and on-demand access to the entire Fox brand catalog. There's even an option to bundle it with Fox Nation, all within a single platform.

While the exact premiere date for *American Dad*'s resurgence on Fox remains under wraps, anticipation is high. Fans are eager to watch (and sing along to that catchy theme song) once more. It's also likely that *American Dad* will be available on Fox One, though we'll have to wait until next year for official confirmation.
