After a long-awaited hiatus in 2024, Family Guy is set to make a grand return.

The beloved animated sitcom, known for its quirky humor and outrageous antics, will premiere its 23rd season on February 16 on FOX.

The announcement was made via the official Family Guy page on X, which shared a teaser image of Peter Griffin spotting a billboard reading, “Family Guy is back February 16.” Fans quickly celebrated the news, eagerly anticipating the show's return to the Animation Domination lineup.

What’s new in Season 23?

Season 23 promises plenty of surprises for fans. The show will feature:

A parody episode of ‘Top Gun: Maverick.’
A new twist involving a younger version of Peter’s nemesis, the Giant Chicken.
Fresh characters and storylines that will shake things up in Quahog.
These teasers were revealed during last year’s San Diego Comic-Con, where fans got a sneak peek at what’s to come.

The return of Family Guy is part of FOX’s midseason Animation Domination block, which also features new episodes of popular series like Grimsburg, The Great North, and Krapopolis. These shows will run before making way for the return of other fan favorites, including The Simpsons and Bob’s Burgers.

Fans are thrilled about the return, with many expressing excitement on social media:

“The wait is finally over! Can’t wait to see what Peter and the gang are up to this season.”
