In case you haven't heard, Family Guy will be moving to Thursday nights beginning on May 29. They'll be a part of the Summer 2025 Animation Domination schedule, which Bob's Burgers will front. The Thursday 8 PM time slot will be a first for Family Guy in its 23 seasons, and while shocking, it's sensible to include the animated sitcom alongside its peers.
Season 23 is currently airing and will continue throughout the summer, starting on Thursday, May 29. The last Sunday for Family Guy before the change will be May 18.
So, what adventures will Peter and his crew pursue? Weeks before the summer Animation Domination schedule will drop, the FOX Network released a few of the episodes' storylines. There will be lots of Lois, along with Stewie and Brian. The baby and dog duo is one of TV's best, and I'm overjoyed that Family Guy is writing cohesive themes for them. There could never be enough Brian and Stewie episodes.
Here's what's coming to Family Guy this summer
Starting on May 29 at 9 PM ET/ 8 PM CST (as we now know), Family Guy will be rolling out brand-new episodes for the summer 2025 schedule for Animation Domination. Joining the Griffins, aside from the Belchers from Bob's Burgers, will be Grimsberg and The Great North. The former will premiere season 2, and if you enjoy Jon Hamm, then you'll like Grimsberg.
See Family Guy's episode descriptions below!
"On Family Guy, Lois becomes the leader of a group of mothers who want to ban books from schools, then embarks on a journey of self-discovery – which includes dating Bonnie. Also, this summer, Meg enlists in a training program for a mission to Mars, and Brian convinces Stewie to go back in time and bring Mark Twain to the present day."
As one who loves history, I wonder what Mark Twain would think of America today. He wrote prose that reflected controversial topics of the 19th century, but his works conveyed the true nature of the situations. Will Brian and Stewie seek help from Twain to reestablish America, or will their journey take a completely different course? Family Guy has a comedic craft that engages the audience with real-life events, even if the output is raw.
And as for Lois, as much as she loves Peter despite his shenanigans, she can't help but wonder what her life would be like without him. Her dad doesn't favor Peter much, but I doubt that he'd like anyone else for his daughter.
