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

Get ready for more laughs and adventures because Seth MacFarlane's beloved series, *American Dad*, is making a triumphant return to Fox in 2026. Alongside it, fans can also look forward to fresh episodes of another MacFarlane classic, *Family Guy*. This marks a significant homecoming for both shows, which originally aired on Fox from 2005 to 2014 before moving to TBS until March of this year. The decision to bring these series back during the midseason is part of Fox's strategy to maintain a "winning position" in the competitive landscape of 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 not just bringing back fan-favorite shows; they're also expanding their digital footprint. The network is set to launch Fox One, a new streaming service that will seamlessly integrate news, sports, and entertainment. According to a press release from the network, Fox One will offer both live streaming and on-demand access to the full catalog of Fox brands. Additionally, viewers will have the option to bundle this service with Fox Nation within one platform, enhancing their viewing experience.

While the exact premiere date for *American Dad*'s return to Fox remains under wraps, fans are eagerly anticipating its comeback. We're all ready to sing along to the iconic theme song once more. And with the launch of Fox One on the horizon, it's likely that *American Dad* will be available there too, though we'll have to wait until next year for all the details to be confirmed.
