Hulu has exciting plans in store for fans of the beloved animated sitcom "Family Guy" as it gears up to release two special holiday episodes later this year. Marking the 25th anniversary since its premiere, the news was officially confirmed during PaleyFestLA, where creators and fans alike celebrated the enduring success of the Seth MacFarlane-created series.

The anticipation builds as the Season 22 finale of "Family Guy" is scheduled to air on Wednesday, April 17 at 9:32 p.m. ET on Fox, followed by its availability on Hulu the following day. The milestone anniversary, which fell on January 31, 2024, was commemorated with a lively panel discussion featuring the cast and executive producers at PaleyFest LA on Friday, April 19.

With Seth MacFarlane at the helm as creator and executive producer, the iconic voices of Peter Griffin, Stewie, and Brian are brought to life by MacFarlane himself, while Alex Borstein lends her talent to voicing Lois. Additionally, Seth Green voices Chris, Mila Kunis voices Meg, and Arif Zahir takes on the role of Cleveland Brown.

In a recent interview with the Los Angeles Times, MacFarlane shared his optimism for the future of the series, expressing his belief that there is still much storytelling potential to explore. He emphasized the show's enduring popularity and its ability to bring joy to audiences, noting its contributions to charitable causes through its continued success.

Reflecting on the show's journey, MacFarlane acknowledged that there were moments when he considered wrapping up the series, but the overwhelming support from fans and its significant impact on pop culture convinced him otherwise. Since its debut in January 1999 on Fox, "Family Guy" has weathered its share of ups and downs, including a brief cancellation after its second season. However, its resurgence in popularity through reruns and DVD releases paved the way for its revival and subsequent seasons, culminating in its ongoing success and cult following among dedicated fans.

Fueled by its resurgence and unwavering fan base, "Family Guy" continues to defy expectations and captivate audiences, proving that its irreverent humor and iconic characters remain as relevant and entertaining as ever. With Hulu's upcoming holiday specials, fans can look forward to more laughter and memorable moments from the Griffins and their quirky cohort.
