"Family Guy" Halloween and Holiday Specials Return Exclusively to Hulu This Year

FIRST LOOK: Kieran Culkin Guest Voices in the Exclusive Halloween Special on Hulu

At the "Family Guy" San Diego Comic-Con panel today, July 25, executive producer and showrunner Rich Appel revealed that "Family Guy" Halloween and Holiday specials are returning exclusively to Hulu this year, along with a first look at guest star Kieran Culkin, who joins the Halloween special as the Devil. Appel was joined by "Family Guy" stars Alex Borstein, Arif Zahir, Jennifer Tilly and co-executive producer & supervising director Peter Shin.

In the Halloween special, "Happy Hell-o-ween," Brian and Stewie find themselves in Hell - not an annoying day, the actual underworld - paying for 24 seasons' worth of bad behavior. When they manage to annoy even the Devil himself, they end up in charge.

Having danced with any number of devils on "Succession," Kieran Culkin now gets to play the Devil himself in "Happy Hell-o-ween."

In the Holiday special, "The Peter Clause," it's Christmas in Quahog, and Peter and the guys compete to become the town's official Santa. Peter loses, and he can either process his disappointment in a mature manner, or give fans a memorable episode of "Family Guy." Thankfully, he chooses option number two.

The specials will also exclusively stream internationally on Disney+ in most markets.

Season 25 of "Family Guy" returns to FOX in 2027, and will stream on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+ for bundle subscribers in the U.S.

This animated series features the adventures of the Griffin family. Endearingly ignorant Peter and his stay-at-home wife, Lois, reside in Quahog, R.I., and have three kids. Meg, the eldest child, is a social outcast, and teenage Chris is awkward and clueless about the opposite sex.

Brian, the talking dog, keeps Stewie in check while sipping martinis and sorting through his own issues.
