American Dad! Returns to Fox With Four-Season Renewal

Curbing profanity for broadcast television, the revived series will feature a clone-centric 400th episode alongside a three-story space anthology.

Overview

Fox has ordered four seasons of American Dad! beginning in 2026, guaranteeing at least 56 new episodes.
Executive producers said characters will no longer use profanity such as 'shit' and 'God damn it' in order to meet broadcast standards.
The 400th episode positions Stan on a perilous mission that reveals he has been replaced by a CIA clone.
The upcoming season includes a three-part space anthology that transports the series outside its normal world with standalone stories.
Season 20 will feature guest performances by Mary Steenburgen, Ted Danson, Joe Mantegna, Chris Pine, Ming-Na Wen, RuPaul, Wayne Newton, Patrick Stump, Jonathan Frakes and Kyle MacLachlan.
