FOX has announced the return of its long-running animated sitcom, “Family Guy,” with new episodes set to premiere on Sunday, February 16th at 8:00 PM ET/PT. The show, currently in its 23rd season, will continue to air as part of FOX’s Animation Domination block, followed by “Grimsburg” and “The Great North.”
“Family Guy” centers on the Griffin family, residents of the fictional town of Quahog, Rhode Island. The show is known for its satirical humor, often lampooning American culture, current events, and family life. The ensemble cast features Seth MacFarlane as Peter Griffin, the family’s well-meaning but often bumbling patriarch; Alex Borstein as Lois, the voice of reason; Seth Green as Chris, the awkward teenage son; Mila Kunis as Meg, the perpetually overlooked daughter; and MacFarlane again as Stewie, the diabolically intelligent baby.
The show has been a cornerstone of FOX’s animated programming for over two decades, garnering a large and dedicated fanbase. “Family Guy” has been praised for its sharp writing, memorable characters, and willingness to push comedic boundaries. However, it has also faced criticism for its reliance on offensive humor and controversial subject matter.
Despite its sometimes polarizing nature, “Family Guy” remains a popular fixture in the animation landscape. The show has received numerous awards, including Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Voice-Over Performance and Outstanding Music and Lyrics.
The upcoming episodes will continue to follow the Griffin family’s misadventures, offering viewers a mix of familiar tropes and unexpected twists. While specific plot details have not been released, fans can anticipate the show’s signature blend of humor, satire, and social commentary.
For those who prefer to stream, new episodes of “Family Guy” will be available on Hulu the day after their broadcast premiere. This allows viewers to catch up on the latest installments at their convenience.
The return of “Family Guy” marks the continuation of FOX’s commitment to animated programming. The network’s Animation Domination block remains a popular destination for viewers seeking comedic entertainment, and “Family Guy” continues to be a key component of its success.
