Disney Streaming Services Orders Family Guy Halloween And Christmas Specials For Hulu and Disney+

Freakin‘ Sweet

Disney is looking to take advantage of its smash hit adult animated franchise, “Family Guy”, with two new holiday specials that will be coming exclusively to Hulu and Disney+.

As the animated sitcom celebrated its 25th anniversary since its premiere, it was confirmed at PaleyFestLA that the series would air two holiday specials later this year, the specials are set to be confirmed to be themed around Halloween and Christmas.

“Family Guy” Season 22 recently wrapped up on FOX, While the show is still contracted to premiere on the FOX linear channel in the United States, it looks like Disney is going to use a similar loophole to how Paramount+ was able to get “South Park” specials/movies since these two holiday specials won’t be considered a traditional episode for the 23th season.

No other details on these “Family Guy” specials have been announced, but they will be themed on Halloween and Christmas. Hopefully, we will soon find out more about these specials.
