"American Dad Set to Return on Fox in 2026 Midseason"

Get ready, fans! Seth MacFarlane's beloved animated series, *American Dad*, is making a triumphant return to Fox in 2026. This marks the show's second debut on the network, and it will be joined by new episodes of MacFarlane’s other hit, *Family Guy*. Both series are set to make a midseason comeback, celebrating their return to Fox where they originally aired from 2005 to 2014 before moving to TBS until March of this year. This strategic move is part of Fox's effort to maintain a "winning position" in primetime television programming.

Fox Entertainment CEO Rob Wade expressed his excitement about the upcoming season, stating, "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." This statement reflects Fox's commitment to delivering quality entertainment that resonates with viewers.

Fox is not just bringing back fan-favorite shows; they're also innovating in the streaming space. The network has announced the launch of their new streaming service, Fox One, which will integrate news, sports, and entertainment programming into one platform. This service will offer both live streaming and on-demand access to the full catalog of Fox brands, with the option to bundle with Fox Nation within one platform. This move aims to enhance viewer experience and accessibility.

While *American Dad* does not yet have a confirmed premiere date for its return to Fox, fans are eagerly anticipating its comeback. The series is expected to be available on Fox One as well, ensuring that viewers have multiple ways to enjoy the show. We'll keep you updated with more details as they become available next year, but rest assured, we'll all be watching—and singing along to that iconic theme song!
