The Family Guy Halloween special—“A Little Fright Music”—premieres TODAY, October 6, 2025, exclusively on Hulu (and on Hulu on Disney+ for eligible subscribers). It’s a brisk, music-forward caper that drops perfectly into Huluween and gives Stewie and Brian a new mission: make the definitive Halloween song.
What’s the Story?
Stewie and Brian decide Halloween needs a real hit. So they write one. Expect quick-fire gags, orchestral cues, and a few wonderfully unhinged detours. In Quahog, Peter and the guys chase glory in the Pumpkin Contest, where tricks, tall tales, and questionable decisions pile up fast.
- Runtime: ~22 minutes
- Guest Star: Glen Powell
- Placement: A Hulu-exclusive special that tees up Season 24’s return to FOX in 2026.
The Musical Twist
For over 25 years, Family Guy has balanced satire and song better than almost any other animated show. From Road to Rhode Island to Shipoopi, music has always been part of its DNA. A Little Fright Music continues that tradition, layering sharp comedy with big-band energy and a full orchestral score. It’s a perfect entry for fans who love Family Guy’s musical mayhem, and an easy on-ramp for newcomers.
Quick History & Honors
Debuting in 1999, Family Guy reached cult status with its breakout star, Stewie, and a relentless parade of parodies. The show earned an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Comedy Series—only the second animated series ever to do so. Seth MacFarlane has won multiple Emmys for Character Voice-Over Performance (2016, 2017, 2019) and has received recurring nominations through 2024. Alex Borstein won in 2018 and was nominated again in 2024.
