TBS is doubling down on American Dad!, ordering two more seasons
of the top-rated animated hit from Twentieth Century Fox Television,
ensuring that the Stan Smith clan will have a home on the network
through 2018. An important programming initiative for the Turner
portfolio, American Dad! also has a second home on TBS's sister
network, Adult Swim, which presents an encore of each new episode after
its TBS premiere. This announcement adds 44 episodes to the series – 22
each for seasons 12 & 13. It marks the second time in less than year
that TBS has renewed the series. In November, the network announced a
22-episode order for season 11, which is set to air on TBS and Adult
Swim in early 2016. Created by Seth MacFarlane, Mike Barker and Matt
Weitzman, American Dad! joined the TBS slate in October 2014 with the start of the show's 10th season. TBS's double renewal of American Dad!
is part of an overall strategy to update the network's brand and expand
its lineup of original programming. The brand overhaul was announced
during the TBS portion of Turner's Upfront presentation in May. The
rebrand is set to begin in the fourth quarter, in conjunction with the
season 12 premiere of American Dad! and the launches of the brand new TBS comedies Angie Tribeca and The Detour.
