Ah, sweet!
Adult Swim announced today that the leading adult animation destination will feature library episodes of Family Guy in its primetime weekday lineup beginning in 2025.
Massively popular with Adult Swim fans since the network began airing the Seth MacFarlane series in 2003, Family Guy episodes will air back-to-back every weekday from 10:00 – 11:30 p.m. ET/PT beginning next year.
To mark the return of Family Guy, Adult Swim will also host a three-day marathon of episodes every evening from 7 p.m. to 5 a.m. ET/PT beginning Wednesday, January 1.
“Adult Swim is a huge part of Family Guy’s early history, and we’re excited for the series to return to our lineup in 2025,” said Michael Ouweleen, President of Adult Swim. “Having Family Guy back on our air is a great complement to the amazing slate of animated originals we also have planned for next year.”
Family Guy follows the adventures of the Griffin family. Endearingly ignorant Peter and his stay-at-home wife, Lois, reside in Quahog, RI, and have three kids: Meg, the eldest child, is a social outcast, and teenage Chris is awkward and clueless when it comes to the opposite sex. The youngest, Stewie, is a genius baby who is bent on killing his mother and destroying the world. Brian, the talking dog, keeps Stewie in check while sipping martinis and sorting through his own issues.
Since its debut in 1999, the series has reached cult status among fans, and has racked up numerous awards, including an Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Comedy Series, only the second animated series in television history to be honored with such a distinction. In recent years, series creator and lead voice actor Seth MacFarlane (voices of Peter, Stewie, Brian and neighbor Glenn Quagmire) was nominated for the 2021 Emmy Award for Outstanding Character Voice-Over Performance and won the 2019 Emmy Award for Outstanding Character Voice-Over Performance. Alex Borstein (voice of Lois) won the 2018 Emmy Award in that same category and was just nominated in 2024. MacFarlane also was nominated in 2018. He won the 2017 and 2016 Emmy Award in the category and was nominated from 2013 to 2015.
Fresh off its 25th anniversary year, Family Guy will return to FOX in 2025 with all-new episodes and is available to stream on Hulu (including the new, exclusive holiday special “Gift of the White Guy,” available now). The series stars Seth MacFarlane, Alex Borstein, Seth Green, Mila Kunis and Arif Zahir.
Family Guy is a 20th Television Animation production and is distributed by Disney Entertainment. Seth MacFarlane is creator and executive producer. Rich Appel and Alec Sulkin serve as executive producers and showrunners, while Steve Callaghan, Tom Devanney, Danny Smith, Kara Vallow, Mark Hentemann, Patrick Meighan and Alex Carter are executive producers.
