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

It's back, once again. Seth MacFarlane's beloved series, *American Dad*, is set to return to Fox in 2026, marking its second debut on the network. This exciting news comes alongside the announcement of new episodes of MacFarlane’s other hit, *Family Guy*. The return of both series to Fox midseason is a nostalgic homecoming, as they were originally aired on Fox from 2005 to 2014 before moving to TBS until March of this year. Both shows are key components in Fox's strategy to maintain a "winning position" in primetime television programming.

“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,” Fox Entertainment CEO Rob Wade stated in a press release via Variety. “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 currently buzzing with new developments in its upcoming programming, including 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. Subscribers will also have the option to bundle Fox One with Fox Nation, enhancing the viewing experience within one convenient platform.

While *American Dad* does not yet have a confirmed premiere date for its resurgence on Fox, fans can rest assured that they'll be tuning in—and singing along to that catchy theme song. It's likely that the show will also be available on Fox One, but we'll have more details on that sometime next year.
