How to Catch All the New Family Guy Antics

This dual release strategy means you'll have options to keep up with the Griffins. If you prefer network television, tune into Fox on Sundays. If you're a streamer, new episodes will become available for streaming the very next day (Mondays) on Hulu. Whether you're cutting the cord or sticking with traditional cable, understanding your viewing options is key.

What Zany Adventures Await in Quahog?

Season 24 promises to uphold Family Guy's long-standing tradition of episodic storytelling, focusing on distinct, hilarious scenarios rather than a sprawling overarching narrative. Expect the signature blend of character-driven humor and biting social commentary that has defined the series. Early episodes are teased to explore unique character pairings, with a special emphasis on Lois and Stewie’s bond, new misadventures for Meg, Peter’s often-disastrous interactions with his friends, and Stewie’s ever-present obsessions. We're also hearing whispers of a side-splitting parody of The Lord of the Rings and further development into Lois's understanding of Stewie.
