"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. Alongside it, the network will also premiere new episodes of another MacFarlane classic, *Family Guy*. This marks a significant homecoming for both shows, which were originally with Fox from 2005 to 2014 before transitioning to TBS until March of this year. The return of these iconic series is part of Fox's strategy to maintain its "winning position" in primetime television programming.

Fox Entertainment CEO Rob Wade expressed enthusiasm 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 move underscores Fox's commitment to delivering content that resonates with viewers across multiple platforms.

Fox is not just bringing back fan-favorite shows; they are also innovating their programming landscape. The network recently announced the launch of their new streaming service, Fox One. This service will integrate news, sports, and entertainment into a single platform, offering both live streaming and on-demand access to the full catalog of Fox brands. Additionally, viewers will have the option to bundle Fox One with Fox Nation, enhancing the viewing experience within one convenient platform.

While an exact premiere date for *American Dad*'s return to Fox has yet to be announced, anticipation is high. Fans can rest assured that they'll be tuning in (and probably singing along to that catchy theme song). It's likely that *American Dad* will also be available on Fox One, though we'll have to wait until next year for official confirmation. Stay tuned for more updates as we approach the exciting 2026 season!
