[
Family Guy‘s Halloween and holiday specials are returning exclusively to Hulu for a third straight year in 2026.
Series executive producer and showrunner Rich Appel made the announcement at Family Guy‘s Comic-Con panel Saturday, while also sharing a first look atbKieran Culkin (Succession), who will guest star in the Halloween special as the devil. Appel was joined on the panel by Family Guy stars Alex Borstein, Arif Zahir, Jennifer Tilly and co-executive producer & supervising director Peter Shin.
The Simpsons and Family Guy have been producing episodes exclusively for Disney+ and Hulu, where their respective libraries are housed, for the past couple of years. This year, they are joined for the first time by Bob’s Burgers, which will release a holiday short exclusively on Hulu. All three series are produced by Fox Television Animation.

In the Family Guy Halloween special, “Happy Hell-o-ween,” Brian and Stewie find themselves in hell — not an annoying day, the actual underworld — paying for 24 seasons’ worth of bad behavior. When they manage to annoy even the devil (Culkin) himself, they end up in charge.
In the holiday special, “The Peter Clause,” it’s Christmas in Quahog, and Peter and the guys compete to become the town’s official Santa. Peter loses, and he can either process his disappointment in a mature manner or give fans a memorable episode of Family Guy. Thankfully, he chooses option No. 2.
The specials also will stream exclusively internationally on Disney+ in most markets.
Season 25 of Family Guy returns to Fox in midseason 2027 and will stream on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+ for bundle subscribers in the U.S.
