“Family Guy” is set to premiere more exclusive specials for Hulu, in addition to the Fox episodes that it continues to stream. Meeting with fans Saturday at the San Diego Comic-Con, the “Family Guy” team revealed that new Halloween and other holiday editions of “Family Guy” were in the works for Hulu.
The new batch kicks off on Monday, Oct. 6, with a new Halloween “Family Guy” special set to run. It’s the first of two new exclusive episodes for Hulu. The news was shared during “Family Guy’s” Comic-Con panel, which featured stars Alex Borstein, Seth Green and Jennifer Tilly along with executive producers Alec Sulkin and Kara Vallow.
The Halloween special is dubbed “A Little Fight Music.” Here’s the logline: “Brian and Stewie realize there is a shortage of quality Halloween songs, so they set out to write a hit, and Peter and the guys discover that lying about trick or treating can have deadly consequences.”
The special is separate from the show’s upcoming Season 24, which is set to premiere in 2026 on Fox. After premiering on Fox, it will stream on Hulu.
This is the second round of specials that have been ordered to Hulu outside of Fox. “Family Guy” previously produced another Halloween special, titled “Peter, Peter Pumpkin Cheater,” which ran last October. And then there was the holiday event “Gift of the White Guy,” which premiered on Hulu last year on Nov. 25.
The “South Park” panel opened with a sneak peak at upcoming clips from the show, including satiric jabs at Jeffrey Epstein, Lauren Boebert, Eddie Murphy, the Emmys, “Lord of the Rings,” Bill Cosby and more. Also coming up: Lois discovers, for the very first time, that Stewie can talk.
The Comic-Con panel included Alex Borstein (Lois), Seth Green (Chris) and Jennifer Tilly (Bonnie), with executive producers Alec Sulkin and Kara Vallow.
Toward the end of the panel, comedian Matt Friend (who also moderated the panel) and Borstein re-enacted the now famous Coldplay moment between the Astronomer CEO and his HR head. Then, Friend as Michael Bublé and Borstein, in her Lois voice, performed a parody of “Me and Mrs. Jones” — singing “Me and Mrs. Griffin.”
“Family Guy” is coming off last year’s 25th anniversary. Per 20th, “since its debut in 1999, the series has reached cult status among fans, and its breakout star, a talking baby, has become one of the greatest TV characters of all time.”
Family Guy comes from 20th Television Animation; Seth MacFarlane is creator and executive producer. Rich Appel and Alec Sulkin are executive producers and showrunners, while Steve Callaghan, Tom Devanney, Danny Smith, Kara Vallow, Mark Hentemann, Patrick Meighan and Alex Carter are executive producers.
