American Dad Moves to TBS

LOS ANGELES: Seth MacFarlane’s animated comedy American Dad will move to TBS in late 2014 after the conclusion of its tenth season on FOX.

The Twentieth Century Fox Television series will launch its 11th season on TBS late next year, with sister network Adult Swim delivering encores of each episode. The cable network has ordered 15 episodes for season 11. Michael Wright, president and head of programming for TBS, TNT and Turner Classic Movies (TCM), noted, "American Dad is a great fit for TBS, a favorite of comedy fans who like smart, irreverent humor with ample doses of biting wit and skewering satire. We look forward to welcoming Seth MacFarlane and the rest of his team as they bring this iconic show to TBS."

Twentieth Century Fox TV Chairmen Gary Newman and Dana Walden added, "American Dad is a brilliantly inventive series, and TBS’s desire to platform new episodes demonstrates the enduring power of great and compelling content. Seth, Mike and Matt have created an incredibly rich world of unique characters, and we couldn’t be happier that they will be able to continue to tell their trademark brand of subversive, hilarious stories to their millions of fans."
