Seth MacFarlane's iconic animated series *American Dad* is making its highly anticipated return to Fox in 2026, marking a significant homecoming for the show. This revival coincides with the launch of new episodes of another MacFarlane hit, *Family Guy*. Both series initially aired on Fox from 2005 to 2014 before transitioning to TBS, where they remained until earlier this year.
Their return to Fox during the midseason lineup reflects a strategic move to strengthen the network's presence in primetime television. Fox Entertainment CEO Rob Wade emphasized the network's commitment to delivering engaging content, stating, "We’re bringing that promise to life with a terrific slate to delight our audiences across linear, Hulu, and beyond."
While an exact premiere date for *American Dad* remains undisclosed, the show is expected to join Fox One—a new streaming service set to consolidate news, sports, and entertainment under one umbrella. This platform will offer live streaming and on-demand access to Fox's extensive library, including options to bundle with Fox Nation. Fans can look forward to enjoying the show alongside *Family Guy*, with more details emerging in the coming months.
No matter when it premieres, *American Dad* will undoubtedly continue to bring its signature humor and catchy theme song to viewers worldwide. Stay tuned for updates!
