Joe Otterson TV Reporter “The Simpsons,” “Family Guy,” and “Bob’s Burgers” have locked in massive four-season renewals at Fox, Variety has learned.

In addition, “American Dad” is officially returning to Fox, likewise with a four-season renewal. It was previously reported in March that “American Dad” was nearing a deal to return to Fox, the network that originally launched the show in 2005.

It has been airing on TBS since 2014. Linear reruns of “American Dad!” will continue to air on TBS and fellow Warner Bros. Discovery networks Adult Swim and TruTV until at least 2030. “This new deal celebrates the eternal popularity of these iconic comedies, as well as the enduring, prolific relationship we continue to enjoy with our friends at 20th Television Animation and the brilliant creators – that goes double for Seth this time around — and incredible voices behind these contemporary classics,” said Michael Thorn, president of Fox Television Network.

The renewals will take “Bob’s Burgers” from Seasons 16-19, “Family Guy” to Seasons 24-27, “American Dad” to Seasons 20-23, and the record-setting 37th through 40th Seasons of “The Simpsons.” “The longevity of this agreement reaffirms our commitment to the successful partnership we’ve built with the incredible team at Disney,” said Rob Wade, CEO of Fox Entertainment. “This collaboration has and will continue to generate meaningful long-term value and strategically build audiences from Fox to Hulu to fans worldwide.” While Fox has given out multi-season commitments in the past, the unprecedented size of the order grants a strong measure of consistency for both Fox, the longtime leader in broadcast animation, and studio 20th Television Animation.
