FOX announced today that American Dad will be returning to the network next season for Seasons 20 through 23. On the air since 2005, the animated comedy moved to TBS over a decade ago after 10 seasons and has been a solid performer there since.

The move is part of an unprecedented, early four-season renewal for four of 20th Television Animation's hit series. 'The Simpsons,' 'Family Guy,' and 'Bob's Burgers' also got 4-season pickups that will take them all through the 2028-2029 broadcast cycle.

"This historic four-season order from our longtime partners at FOX is truly monumental for these iconic animated series. We are so proud that these legendary shows will continue for hundreds of more episodes, allowing new and longstanding fans to watch, rewatch and experience more of The Simpsons, Family Guy, American Dad and Bob's Burgers for years to come," said Marci Proietto, head of 20th Television Animation.

"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.

American Dad follows an all-American family led by CIA agent Stan Smith. Their everyday life is taken to the limit as Stan applies the same extreme measures he uses in his job to his home life. And aside from their two children, they also house an alien named Roger and have a talking pet fish called Klaus.
