Along with all the action on the live-action side at Fox this week, with the network picking up new series, renewing and canceling existing ones, Fox also has quietly made a move on the animated side, Deadline reported.
Within the last few days, Fox has renewed flagship animated comedy Family Guy for an 11th season and American Dad for an eighth. The orders are for 22 epsiodes each.
American Dad, which recently returned from hiatus, is in its sixth season on the air, with a full seventh season worth of episodes in the can to begin running in September. The pickups ensure that both Seth MacFarlane series will be on the air at least through the 2013-14 season. By then, Family Guy will have amassed 239 episodes.
