‘Family Guy’ Sets Annual Halloween & Holiday Specials For Hulu, Kieran Culkin Cast As The Devil
Family Guy's Halloween and holiday specials will return exclusively to Hulu for a third consecutive year in 2026, with actor Kieran Culkin joining as a guest star voicing the Devil in the Halloween instalment. The news was announced by showrunner Rich Appel at the show's Comic-Con panel, alongside cast members Alex Borstein, Arif Zahir and Jennifer Tilly. The move continues a broader trend of Fox Television Animation shows producing exclusive streaming content, reinforcing Hulu and Disney+'s role as key platforms for the studio's library.
In the Halloween special, "Happy Hell-o-ween," Brian and Stewie end up in Hell atoning for 24 seasons of bad behaviour, eventually annoying the Devil so much that they take charge themselves. The holiday special, "The Peter Clause," sees Peter competing to become Quahog's official Santa. This year also marks the first time Bob's Burgers joins The Simpsons and Family Guy in releasing exclusive Hulu content, with a holiday short of its own. The specials will stream internationally on Disney+ in most markets, while Family Guy's Season 25 returns to Fox in midseason 2027.
