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

The beloved animated series, *American Dad*, created by Seth MacFarlane, 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 iconic series, *Family Guy*. Both shows originally aired on Fox from 2005 to 2014 before transitioning to TBS, where they remained until March of this year. The return of these series is part of Fox's strategy to maintain a strong position in primetime television programming.

Fox Entertainment CEO Rob Wade expressed enthusiasm about the upcoming schedule, 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 quality entertainment to diverse audiences.

Fox is not only bringing back fan-favorite shows but is also innovating in the streaming space. The network recently announced the launch of its 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, users will have the option to bundle Fox One with Fox Nation, enhancing the viewing experience within one convenient platform.

While the exact premiere date for *American Dad*'s return to Fox has not been announced, fans are eagerly anticipating its comeback. The show is expected to be available on Fox One, though official confirmation will come sometime next year. As we await the return, we can't help but look forward to singing along to that iconic theme song once again.
