Production

On December 16, 2021, TBS renewed American Dad! for seasons 20 and 21, following the end of the show's eighteenth season.[3] On May 12, 2023, it was announced that the showrunners of American Dad!, including Seth MacFarlane, would temporarily leave the show as a result of the ongoing Writers Guild of America strike. While this decision will not have an immediate effect on the show, it could impact future episodes if the strike is prolonged.[4]

Marketing

The twentieth season was promoted with a contest titled "The Next Roger" by the show's official Twitter account and the TBS website.[5] Users would need to tweet their persona ideas, and the winner would have their idea featured in the series' twenty-first season.[6]

Release

The series' twentieth season was announced on March 6, 2023, with a special trailer with the tagline "18[7] Seasons, and Still Proud", showcasing moments from the upcoming season.[8] The season premiered on March 27, 2023 with episodes coming to Hulu later in the year.
