‘Family Guy‘ fans are in for a real treat as it’s been confirmed that Season 20 of the long-running animated series will arrive on Disney+ on 3rd November, just weeks after Season 19, which launched today.

For the first time, Disney+ subscribers can now binge all seasons 1-19 of ‘Family Guy’ ahead of the new season premiering exclusively on the streaming platform.

‘Family Guy’ continues to entertain its cult fan base with razor-sharp humor, spot-on parodies, spectacular animation and orchestra-backed original music. Since its debut, the series has reached cult status among fans, and its breakout star, a talking baby, has become one of the greatest TV characters of all time. 

The series was created by Seth MacFarlane and it features the voices of MacFarlane, Alex Borstein, Seth Green, Mila Kunis, Mike Henry, Arif Zahir and Patrick Warburton.

Disney+ continues to be quite an impressive contestant in the on demand race. Previously, they started streaming all ten seasons of zombie drama 'The Walking Dead' and then premiered its eleventh and final season too. Now they'll do similarly with a hit sitcom that everyone knows...

Season 19 of the award-winning 'Family Guy' lands on Disney+ today, and the streaming service has made an additional announcement.

Season 20 is also coming to Disney+ in Ireland and the UK.

It is premiering exclusively there on the 3rd November, 2021.

Now subscribers are able to binge all seasons 1 through 19 of 'Family Guy' on Disney+.

They should have enough time to watch them all before the new season exclusive premiere date next month.

'Family Guy' has proven to be a cult classic, entertaining audiences since it premiered in 1999.

Peter, Lois, Meg, Chris and Stewie Griffin, as well as their talking dog Brian, madcap neighbours and other eccentric dwellers in the town of Quahog are beloved by fans all over.

Production[edit]

On September 23, 2020, Fox announced that Family Guy had been renewed for a twentieth and twenty-first season, ensuring that the series would last another two years.[2]

This season also marks the first full season of the series in which Cleveland Brown is voiced by Arif Zahir, following Mike Henry's departure from the role. Henry continues to voice Herbert and other characters. Before the premiere, Henry sent a video on Twitter saying that he was "handing the torch" onto Zahir and said a farewell message in Cleveland's voice.[3]

Starting with "Rock Hard", long-time recurring actor Patrick Warburton was promoted to the main cast.

20th anniversary[edit]

Fox celebrated the twentieth season with a special digital panel, with a promotional trailer unveiled during the San Diego Comic-Con 2021 Virtual Convention, teasing clips from the season.[4][5] In commemoration, FXX set a near full series marathon of all 19 seasons of the show, running from December 25, 2021 to January 2, 2022.[6][7] A promotional PSA short made to promote COVID-19 vaccines was released on September 21, 2021.[8] MacFarlane himself remarked on the show's milestone.[9]

“We’re really excited to continue marketing to the key ‘force of habit’ demographic for a nearly unprecedented 20th season, Our longtime fans who will continue to only occasionally glance up from their computers or phones every so often can look forward to being disappointed all over again that they fought so hard to bring this show back. Whether they’re laughing at the occasional brilliant or biting satirical take, or groaning at our lazy, lowbrow, punch-down jokes, they can at least remember how this show used to be well-written and subversive while arranging anonymous hookups on Grindr."

Release[edit]

The season premiered on September 26, 2021,[10] airing on Sundays as part of Fox's Animation Domination programming block, along with The Simpsons, Bob's Burgers, Duncanville and The Great North. In the UK, the season started airing new episodes every Wednesday on Disney+ through its Star hub starting on November 3.[11] In Australia new episodes air weekly on Disney+ simultaneously with 7 Mate.[12]

Critical reception[edit]

John Schwarz with Bubbleblabber.com gave the season a positive review.[13] Stating "I think Family Guy season 20 is a bit of a “rebuilding year” for the show. For starters, the series introduced not just the aforementioned Zahir doing an awesome job as the new voice of Cleveland, but also the likes of Chris Parnell, Peter Macon, Jay Pharoah, and Patton Oswalt have all portrayed new characters that appear to be on the road to that of “recurring” status, and all of whom play really funny and fresh new characters."[14]

Though he criticized the focus on anthology episodes, mainly 'Rock Hard' and 'HBO-No'. But praised the risks taken in the episode 'First Blood' and concluded "Parnell and Zahir are the types of ingredients that can really help put new logs on this fire to keep it warm, and we await if this franchise has the goods to go another 20 seasons."[15]
