"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. 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*. This midseason homecoming is a significant move for both shows, which originally aired on Fox from 2005 to 2014 before moving to TBS until March of this year. The return of these series is part of Fox's strategy to maintain a "winning position" in primetime television programming.

Fox Entertainment CEO Rob Wade expressed excitement 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 statement was shared via Variety, highlighting Fox's commitment to delivering quality entertainment.

Fox is not just bringing back fan-favorite shows; they're also innovating in the streaming space. The network has announced the launch of their new streaming service, Fox One. This platform will integrate news, sports, and entertainment programming, 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, creating a comprehensive entertainment experience all in one place.

While *American Dad* does not yet have a confirmed premiere date for its return to Fox, anticipation is high. Fans can look forward to not only watching the show on Fox but also potentially streaming it on Fox One. We'll have more details on the exact premiere date and streaming availability sometime next year. Until then, get ready to sing along to that catchy theme song once again!
