Family Guy will have another network home this September. In a recent licensing deal, Disney granted permission for Paramount to broadcast on their network, Comedy Central. The animated comedy follows the Griffin family's chaotic and often dysfunctional life in Quahog, Rhode Island.
Deadline was the first to report the deal between the major networks, and Family Guy will join Beavis and Butt-head, Futurama, and Comedy Central's very own South Park in the primetime schedule. The negotiation will not reflect Family Guy being removed from Fox, Fxx, or its streamer, Hulu. It just means the show will have an additional channel to air, accumulating more fans into Family Guy's strong fanbase.
Season 23 will premiere on Fox's 2025 midseason schedule and be part of the Animation Domination block, a move that hasn't been made in nearly two decades. The network's decision is disappointing as Fox had to make room for their new show,...

It’s been an eventful summer for Disney, and not under ideal circumstances. After his wife’s death because of food allergies at a Disney park, a man struggled to pursue legal action against the company due to his Disney+ subscription. Then, “X-Men: 97” showrunner Beau DeMayo shared a series of posts elaborating on his termination, and his attorneys told IndieWire that he’s preparing to sue.
The headlines have people considering whether to keep subscribing this month — but if you’re a parent, there’s no real replacement. The kids can tune in to “Lego Pixar: Bricktoons,” “Chibi Tiny Tales,” “Disney Jr.’s Ariel,” and more, as well as new episodes of the K-pop series “Are You Sure?” There’s also a big Marvel premiere, but more on that below.

Fox just made San Diego Comic-Con a richer experience for one lucky attendee. During Thursday night’s panel promoting the network’s upcoming new animated series “Universal Basic Guys,” Fox passed out a swag bag to everyone in the San Diego Convention Center ballroom. One of those bags had a special sticker, randomly awarding that winner $3,000.
Actually, because it was shaped like a hot dog, the sticker announced, “You are a weiner.” The $3,000 prize is in line with the concept for “Universal Basic Guys,” which centers on two brothers who work at a hot dog factory — until they lose their jobs to automation and are given $3,000 a month in a new basic income program. The series follows them as they suddenly have a lot of free time and money to pursue some ridiculous adventures.

Fox will use its biggest possible launchpad — Sunday NFL games — to help introduce two of its three new series for the fall to viewers.
The animated comedy Universal Basic Guys will premiere after an NFL doubleheader on Sept. 8 and air a new episode each week before settling into its regular place behind The Simpsons toward the end of that month. Fresh episodes of Bob’s Burgers and The Great North — which have leftover installments from their most recent seasons — will also run on Sept. 8 and 15, giving Fox a complete night of programming both weeks
Rescue: Hi-Surf, a drama about lifeguards in Hawaii, will also get a post-nfl premiere on Sept. 22, then move to its full-time home the following night. It will pair on Mondays with 911: Lone Star, which Fox kept off the air in the strike-altered 2023-24 season.
Fox will concentrate most of its premieres in the week of Sept.

For the first time since 2005, Fox is changing the schedule for its long-running adult animated series Family Guy. However, the move has many fans scared that the network might be considering canceling the popular series.
Here is what you need to know about when Family Guy will return to Fox, the reason for the schedule change, and if this means the network is canceling it.
Family Guy Not Coming Top Fox This Fall
The networks have released their Fall 2024 schedule and Family Guy is not listed on the schedule. This has many fans thinking Fox will cancel the show. Fans have been worried since Seth MacFarlane announced he was no longer writing the series and was just working as a voice talent.
However, there is some good news for fans of the animated series. Fox is not canceling the show. Instead, Family Guy will be a mid-season show, which means it will arrive in January.

Fox is moving “Family Guy” to midseason, marking the first time the animated staple hasn’t been on the network’s fall schedule since 2005 (when it returned to the air after being canceled for a few years).

New dramas include lifeguard actioner “Rescue: Hi-Surf,” from executive producer John Wells, which will air Mondays at 9 p.m. Et behind “9-1-1: Lone Star” and crime procedural “Murder in a Small Town,” which will run Tuesdays at 9 p.m., paired with Season 2 of anthology series “Accused.” Later in the season will premiere medical drama “Doc,” based on the Italian series “Doc — Nelle tue mani” and starring Molly Parker.

Fox has given “Universal Basic Guys” an early greenlight for Season 2 ahead of the series premiere.
The animated comedy follows brothers Mark and Hank Hoagies, who lose their jobs to automation and are given $3,000 a month in a new basic income program, then use their new time and money to find purpose in a world where they’re no longer needed.
“Universal Basic Guys” is co-produced by Fox Entertainment through Bento Box Entertainment and Sony Pictures Television. Adam and Craig Malamut created the series and serve as executive producers alongside Season 1 showrunner Dan Lagana and Season 2 showrunner Rob Rosell.

Some of this TV season’s blood has already been spilled — looking at you, “NCIS: Hawai’i” — but as we head toward upfronts week, there are still a number of broadcast shows “on the bubble.”
But as the networks settle in on a diet of mostly stable franchises and fewer series pilots, there’s also less primetime schedule frenzy this year. The days before upfronts week which would normally mean a rapid fire few days of broadcast series renewals and cancellations announcements. But normal left the building a long time ago.
