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

The much-loved 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, joining new episodes of another MacFarlane favorite, *Family Guy*. Both shows, which aired on Fox from 2005 to 2014 before moving to TBS until March of this year, are part of Fox's strategy to maintain a "winning position" in primetime television.

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.”

Fox is not only bringing back these iconic shows but also introducing new developments in their programming lineup. The network has unveiled *Fox One*, a new streaming service that will integrate news, sports, and entertainment into a single platform. This service will offer both live streaming and on-demand access to the entire catalog of Fox brands, with the option to bundle with Fox Nation.

While *American Dad* does not yet have a confirmed premiere date for its return to Fox, fans are eagerly anticipating its comeback. The show is expected to be available on *Fox One*, enhancing its accessibility. As we await further details next year, one thing is certain: we'll all be tuning in and singing along to that catchy theme song.
