“Family Guy” is set to return to Hulu with its annual Halloween and holiday specials in 2026, marking the third straight year the events stream exclusively on the platform. Series executive producer and showrunner Rich Appel announced the lineup at the show’s Comic-Con panel in San Diego.
At the same event, Appel shared a first look at Kieran Culkin, who is cast to guest star as the devil in the Halloween special. The casting announcement is reported to have taken place Saturday during the “Family Guy” panel, where Culkin’s role as Satan was revealed.
The outlets also frame the casting as part of the broader tradition of “Family Guy” presenting seasonal episodes tied to Halloween and end-of-year holidays, though additional plot details and a release date for the Halloween special are not included in the available reports. Overall, both sources agree on the Hulu exclusivity for the 2026 specials and Culkin’s guest appearance as the devil in the Halloween episode.
