FOX Entertainment has ordered unprecedented, early four-season renewals for 20th Television Animation’s hit series The Simpsons, Family Guy and Bob’s Burgers, and announced the return of American Dad!
The three fan-favorite series — all produced by 20th Television Animation, a part of Disney Television Studios — have each received four additional seasons, continuing their impressive runs on FOX through the 2028-29 broadcast cycle. The renewals encompass the 16th through 19th Seasons of Bob’s Burgers, the 24th through 27th Seasons of Family Guy and the record-setting 37th through 40th Seasons of The Simpsons, extending its standing as the longest-running scripted primetime series in television history.
American Dad!, created by Seth MacFarlane, Mike Barker and Matt Weitzman, debuted on FOX in 2005 and was a part of the network’s animation lineup through 2014. The animated comedy will return to the network for Seasons 20 through 23.
Disney+ and Hulu remain the exclusive global streaming home of these four iconic animated series, boasting a collective library of all 2,000 episodes. Last year, both Family Guy and Bob’s Burgers were ranked as two of the Top 10 most streamed shows in the U.S., according to Nielsen, with 42.44 billion and 36.79 billion minutes viewed, respectively.
