Family Guy, an animated series that was canceled by Fox after its second season, has been revived by its success on Adult Swim. The network reversed the decision to cancel the show after only two months, and it will return for Season 23. The revival was fueled by its success on Adult Swim and impressive DVD sales, leading to its return to FOX.
Family Guy was canceled due to low ratings and losing in competition with other popular shows like Frasier, Survivor, and Friends. However, its revival was fueled by its success on Adult Swim and impressive DVD sales. The show is now owned by Disney, which raises questions about whether it will be cancelled anytime soon.
The creator and star of Family Guy have weighed in on the show’s longevity in a new profile celebrating 25 years since the animated The Simpsons and Family Guy are up for renewal at Fox, producing episodes exclusively for Disney+ and Hulu. The show will return midseason with a full season order and a mostly unbroken run of episodes.
On January 26, 2023, Fox announced that the series had been renewed for seasons 22 and 23, taking the show through the 2024–25 television season. The Walt Disney Company has demoted Family Guy from its status as one of the premiere animated shows on Fox, signaling that cancellation may be in store. Family Guy will return midseason with a full season order and a mostly unbroken run of episodes.
Seth MacFarlane has no plans to end Family Guy, citing continued popularity and funding good causes. The show’s future depends on viewership, and after 25 years, MacFarlane has confirmed its end is not in sight, at least not for the near future.
