    Hulu Orders Two More Exclusive 'Family Guy' Holiday Episodes,
    Including Halloween Special This Fall
    -------------------------------------------------------------
    "Family Guy" is set to premiere more exclusive specials for Hulu,
    in addition to the Fox episodes that it continues to stream.
    Meeting with fans Saturday at the San Diego Comic-Con, the
    "Family Guy" team revealed that new Halloween and other holiday
    editions of "Family Guy" were in the works for Hulu.

    The new batch kicks off on Monday, Oct. 6, with a new Halloween
    "Family Guy" special set to run. It's the first of two new
    exclusive episodes for Hulu. The news was shared during "Family
    Guy's" Comic-Con panel, which featured stars Alex Borstein, Seth
    Green and Jennifer Tilly along with executive producers Alec
    Sulkin and Kara Vallow.

    The Halloween special is dubbed "A Little Fight Music." Here's
    the logline: "Brian and Stewie realize there is a shortage of
    quality Halloween songs, so they set out to write a hit, and
    Peter and the guys discover that lying about trick or treating
    can have deadly consequences."

    The special is separate from the show's upcoming Season 24, which
    is set to premiere in 2026 on Fox. After premiering on Fox, it
    will stream on Hulu.

    This is the second round of specials that have been ordered to
    Hulu outside of Fox. "Family Guy" previously produced another
    Halloween special, titled "Peter, Peter Pumpkin Cheater," which
    ran last October. And then there was the holiday event "Gift of
    the White Guy," which premiered on Hulu last year on Nov. 25.

    The Comic-Con panel included Alex Borstein (Lois), Seth Green
    (Chris) and Jennifer Tilly (Bonnie), with executive producers Alec
    Sulkin and Kara Vallow.

    "Family Guy" is coming off last year's 25th anniversary. Per 20th,
    "since its debut in 1999, 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."

    Family Guy comes from 20th Television Animation; Seth MacFarlane
    is creator and executive producer. Rich Appel and Alec Sulkin are
    executive producers and showrunners, while Steve Callaghan, Tom
    Devanney, Danny Smith, Kara Vallow, Mark Hentemann, Patrick
    Meighan and Alex Carter are executive producers.

    Special Christmas episodes have been common in the UK for many years.
    The more popular shows often get one of these, at least when they're at
    the height of their viewership. I'm a little surprised it's taken the
    Americans so long to imitate this concept.
