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

Get ready, fans of Seth MacFarlane's humor, because *American Dad* is making its triumphant return to Fox in 2026. Alongside it, new episodes of another MacFarlane classic, *Family Guy*, will also grace the network. This midseason comeback is a nostalgic homecoming for both series, which originally aired on Fox from 2005 to 2014 before making a detour to TBS until March of this year. The revival of these beloved shows is part of Fox's strategy to maintain a "winning position" in primetime television.

Fox Entertainment CEO Rob Wade expressed his enthusiasm, 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 was shared via Variety, highlighting the network's commitment to delivering quality entertainment.

Fox is not just bringing back fan-favorite shows; they're also innovating with their programming strategies. The network recently announced the launch of their new streaming service, Fox One. This service will seamlessly blend news, sports, and entertainment into one 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 a single platform.

While *American Dad* doesn't have a set premiere date for its return to Fox, anticipation is high. Fans are eager to watch—and sing along to the iconic theme song—once again. There's a good chance the show will be available on Fox One, but we'll have to wait until next year for the official confirmation. Get ready to welcome back Stan, Francine, and the whole Smith family to your screens soon!
