Family Guy fans can now rejoice as FOX has just revealed the long-awaited return of the animated series. Season 23 is scheduled to debut on Feb. 16, 2025, as part of FOX’s Animation Domination midseason slate.
After months of anticipation, fans will get to laugh at Peter Griffin’s ridiculous behaviors, as well as the escapades of Quahog’s most-loved family, all over again.
This return is a big deal and a long time coming after the show was notably MIA for much of 2024. Family Guy wasn’t on the air last fall, as it previously was in tandem with The Simpsons and Bob’s Burgers. Instead, FOX smartly moved its premiere to the midseason calendar. Even as it pinned down no precise time slot, the buzz about the return is real.
What’s New in Season 23?
In a new promo aired during the 2024 San Diego Comic-Con, FOX presented several details about what to expect for the new season. One of those will be a parody of the blockbuster hit Top Gun: Maverick. Along with series-typical satirical humor, fans should look forward to the introduction of new characters, including a younger version of the Giant Chicken, Peter’s long-time nemesis. This younger character will also have a storyline with Meg, which adds even more of a spin to this new twist.
With season 23, fans can expect the same irreverent comedy, out of the box story telling that has kept them engaged for more than two decades. With Family Guy celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, it promises to be a special season.
Other Animated Series Which Are Coming
Family Guy will headline FOX’s midseason Animation Domination schedule, which also features the return of other fan-favorites like Grimsburg, The Great North, and Krapopolis. These series will help fill the slate of animated fare until The Simpsons and Bob’s Burgers return later in the year.
To add more fuel to that fire, FOX has announced that Family Guy will be one of the major cogs in their midseason plans for years to come, ensuring that fans of the show will have plenty to look fire to through at least 2025.
