American Dad! Heading Back to Fox as Part of 4-Season Pick-Up; Simpsons, Bob's and Family Guy Also Renewed
It's official: The Smith family is returning to Fox.
American Dad! — which has spent the past decade airing new episodes on TBS — will return to its original home as part of Fox's Animation Domination lineup. But that's not the biggest news: Fox has renewed The Simpsons, Bob's Burgers, Family Guy and Dad! for a whopping four seasons each.

Each of those seasons will consist of 15 episodes — meaning, all four shows have been picked up for an additional 60 episodes.
'This new deal celebrates the eternal popularity of these iconic comedies, as well as the enduring, prolific relationship we continue to enjoy with our friends at 20th Television Animation and the brilliant creators – that goes double for Seth this time around — and incredible voices behind these contemporary classics,' Michael Thorn, President of Fox Television Network, said in a statement Wednesday.
American Dad! made its debut on Fox in February 2005, where it aired for nearly a decade before making the jump to basic cable in October 2014. It was the last scripted original to air on TBS; its most recent two-season renewal was handed out by the previous regime ahead of the Warner Bros. Discovery merger in 2022, and its Season 19 finale aired March 24.
The unprecedented renewal deal will take The Simpsons through Season 40, Bob's Burgers through Season 19, Family Guy through Season 27 and American Dad! through Season 23.
