Fox wants much, much more of its popular animation domination lineup. The network announced early four-year renewals for The Simpsons, Family Guy, and Bob’s Burgers. Plus, Fox is welcoming back American Dad! to its primetime lineup.
The four-season renewal means Bob’s Burgers is renewed through season 19, Family Guy through season 27, and The Simpsons through season 40. American Dad!
has been renewed through its 23rd season.
“This new deal celebrates the eternal popularity of these iconic comedies, as well as the enduring, prolific relationship we continue to enjoy with our friends at 20th Television Animation and the brilliant creators—that goes double for Seth this time around—and incredible voices behind these contemporary classics,” stated Michael Thorn, President of FOX Television Network.
The renewals assure time slots on Fox’s primetime schedule through the 2028-2029 season.
“The longevity of this agreement reaffirms our commitment to the successful partnership we’ve built with the incredible team at Disney,” said Rob Wade, CEO of FOX Entertainment. “This collaboration has and will continue to generate meaningful long-term value and strategically build audiences from FOX to Hulu to fans worldwide.”
According to Fox, The Simpsons, Family Guy, and Bob’s Burgers earned spots on the Top 10 comedies lists for the current primetime season.

We are so proud that these legendary shows will continue for hundreds of more episodes, allowing new and longstanding fans to watch, rewatch, and experience more of The Simpsons, Family Guy, American Dad! and Bob’s Burgers for years to come,” said Marci Proietto, head of 20th Television Animation.
