Emiliana Betancourt “Family Guy” is returning to Adult Swim. The long-running Seth MacFarlane animated series will make its return to the late night programming block in 2025, kicking off with a three-day marathon starting on Jan.
1, with back-to-back episodes airing from 7 p.m. ET/PT to 5 a.m. Episodes will then air every weeknight from 10:00 – 11:30pm ET/PT thereafter. “Family Guy” originally premiered on Fox in 1999, but it was canceled after just three seasons due to low ratings.
The then nascent Adult Swim began airing reruns of the series, drawing substantial ratings. That coupled with DVD box set sales led to Fox reviving the show in 2005.
It is now on its 23rd season, having premiered a holiday special on Hulu Oct. 14 and then another on Nov. 25. The remainder of the season is scheduled to premiere on Fox in 2025. “Family Guy” had left Adult Swim after its license expired in 2021, with reruns then moving to FXX, which became the show’s exclusive cable home for its off-network run.
