AMERICAN DAD: TBS Orders Season 18 and 19

AMERICAN DAD has been renewed for season 18 and 19, TBS announced.

“AMERICAN DAD is reaching rarified air with 18th and 19th season pickups that only a handful of shows have ever accomplished; this speaks to the zeitgeisty humor that resonates with audiences, and to the dedication of its creators and brilliant TBS network executives,” said Adrienne O’Riain and Sam Linsky, Co-Heads of Scripted Programming, TBS, TNT, truTV in a statement.

“We are all so grateful to TBS for this two-season pickup,” co-creator/co-showrunner Matt Weitzman added. “Getting seasons 18 and 19 means we will finally be able to tell the stories we only dreamed of telling in seasons 16 and 17. Much thanks also to everyone at 20th Television Animation for all their continued support of AMERICAN DAD’s many years of corrupting our nation’s, nay, the world’s youth…most of whom are now about to turn 40.”

“We’re so happy TBS wants us to keep going!” concluded co-showrunner Brian Boyle. “And this two-season pickup is emblematic of the efficiency TBS is known for – they work half, and we work double. Since we started our collaboration with TBS, they have let us take the show any direction we wish – undirected – because they are wise enough to value the free imaginations of the half insane. At least to sell naked chicken chalupas or whatever.”
