Production
On January 26, 2023, Fox announced that Family Guy had been renewed for a 22nd and 23rd season.[4]
It was announced in April 2024 that the season would air two holiday specials exclusively on Hulu and Disney+ internationally.[5] The trailer for Season 23 was revealed at San Diego Comic-Con.[1] This marks the first time since the eighth season episode "Partial Terms of Endearment" in 2010 that an episode of the series has not aired on Fox.
In May 2024, it was announced that a full season would be broadcast in 2025.[6]
This season saw the show returning to air new episodes on Sundays instead of Wednesdays; from February 23 to March 23, and has hiatus weeks for certain breaks of episodes, the series aired at 8 p.m.;[7] the February 16, 2025 broadcast, however, aired at 10 p.m. due to extended broadcasting of the 2025 Daytona 500 in some markets. From March 30 to May 18, episodes aired at 8:30 p.m. following The Simpsons as a result of the latter returning to its normal timeslot after a three-month hiatus.[8] Starting on May 29, 2025, several new episodes from this season have rare summer-first time airings on Thursday nights as part of a special "Animation Domination" block that also includes new episodes from Bob's Burgers, Grimsburg, and The Great North.
25th anniversary
The series celebrated its 25th anniversary on April 19, 2024, at PaleyFest LA in which the cast and crew did a live table reading of an upcoming episode of the series.[9] The holiday specials premiering on Hulu were announced the following day.[10] The Halloween and Christmas episodes Peter, Peter, Pumpkin Cheater and Gift of the White Guy, respectively, were released in celebration of the series' 25th anniversary.[11] In addition, Peter guest starred in an episode of Hot Ones.[12]

Peter hides inside the pumpkin as an apology, and his weight nets Joe first place. McCloskey catches Joe cheating before it turns out that all entrants, including McCloskey himself, lied by hiding obese men inside their pumpkins. Meanwhile, Stewie intends for himself and Brian to go trick-or-treating as Sonny & Cher, but a falling out prompts Brian to walk out and try looking for some new friends to hang out with. Stewie brings Rupert (voiced by Derek Jacobi) to life, who hears his venting about wanting Brian dead and attempts to murder him. Stewie catches on to this and confronts Rupert, who is hurt that he always comes second to Brian and wants to eliminate the competition.

Meanwhile, after Brian hints that he might be on Santa Claus' naughty list, Stewie strives to be good, throwing away all his weapons and performing good deeds in order to get his desired gifts. After Meg finds his discarded vaporizer, however, the two wrestle with it, accidentally zapping Meg.
