Joins Comedy Central's Primetime Lineup with an All-Day Marathon on Labor Day

New York, NY, August 14, 2024 - Comedy Central announced today that it has licensed the rights to library episodes of the Emmy(R) Award-Winning animated series, Family Guy, which will air for the first time ever within the Paramount family of brands. The iconic series is set to launch with an all-day marathon on Labor Day, Monday, September 2, and will join the primetime lineup starting on Tuesday, September 3, solidifying its position as a cornerstone of the brand's programming.

"We are excited to welcome Family Guy to Comedy Central joining the best in adult animation alongside South Park, Futurama, and Beavis and Butt-Head, among others," said Laurel Weir, Executive Vice President and Head of Programming, SHOWTIME/MTV Entertainment Studios and Paramount Media Networks. "Delivering bold, irreverent and culturally impactful content to our fans is our top priority which makes Family Guy the perfect complement to our robust adult animation slate."

The licensing agreement with Disney Entertainment for the series was negotiated on behalf of Paramount Global by Barbara Zaneri, Chief Programming Acquisitions Officer.

The series has racked up numerous awards, including an Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Comedy Series, only the second animated series in television history to be honored with such a distinction.

Cast member Alex Borstein (voice of "Lois Griffin") won the 2018 Emmy Award in that same category and was just nominated in 2024. MacFarlane also was nominated in 2018. He won the 2017 and 2016 Emmy Award in the category and was nominated from 2013 to 2015.

Family Guy is a 20th Television Animation production and is distributed by Disney Entertainment. MacFarlane is creator and executive producer. Rich Appel and Alec Sulkin serve as executive producers and showrunners, while Steve Callaghan, Tom Devanney, Danny Smith, Kara Vallow, Mark Hentemann, Patrick Meighan and Alex Carter are executive producers.
