American Dad! Eyes Return To Fox As TBS Run Comes To An End

American Dad! is done airing new episodes on TBS.

TVLine can reveal that the Seth MacFarlane cartoon's upcoming season finale (airing Monday, March 24 at 10/9c) will double as a network finale. While reruns of past seasons will continue to be shown on TBS (and Adult Swim) through 2030, sources confirm that the Warner Bros. Discovery-owned cable channel will no longer serve as the destination for first-run episodes.

Now we are able to confirm that American Dad! is eyeing a multi-season renewal at its former home, Fox, which would reunite it with fellow MacFarlane cartoon Family Guy (now in Season 23).

American Dad! made its debut on Fox in February 2005, where it aired for nearly a decade before making the jump to basic cable in October 2014. It was the last scripted original to air on TBS; its most recent two-season renewal was handed out by the previous regime ahead of the WBD merger in 2022.

For the uninitiated: American Dad! "centers on super patriotic CIA agent Stan Smith and the misadventures of his unconventional family in Langley Falls, Va.," per the official logline. The voice cast includes series co-creator Seth MacFarlane (as Stan and Roger), Wendy Schaal (as Francine), Rachael MacFarlane (as Hayley), Jeff Fischer (as Jeff), Scott Grimes (as Steve) and Dee Bradley Baker (as Klaus).

A total of 388 American Dad! episodes will have aired across two networks when its TBS run comes to an end. Our sister site Deadline was the first to report its return to Fox.
