What a long, strange trip it’s been for Family Guy. The fervently adored series was cancelled not once but twice before returning for good in 2005 thanks to a combination of high ratings for syndicated reruns on Adult Swim and strong DVD sales. Now, over a decade later, Family Guy is in the midst of its sixteenth season.
Never a stranger to controversy, the Seth MacFarlane series has remained a beloved fixture on the Fox schedule, but with streaming libraries continuously in flux, it can be difficult to find the animated sitcom online. I mean, where are those good old-fashioned streaming values on which we used to rely?
Was Family Guy removed from Netflix? Is the Fox animated comedy still available to stream online? You got questions, Decider’s got the answers. Here’s the latest update on where you can stream Family Guy.
DID FAMILY GUY GET REMOVED FROM NETFLIX?
Unfortunately, yes. Family Guy is now off of Netflix.
WHY DID NETFLIX REMOVE FAMILY GUY SEASONS?
So why exactly did Netflix remove Family Guy?
Netflix didn’t renew the show’s license, so the contract between the two parties expired. Considering Family Guy is a Fox series, this shouldn’t come as a surprise. In 2017, FX staples like It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, The League, and Wilfred exited Netflix, along with Fox programs like Prison Break, The Grinder, American Dad, and many more.
Various seasons of Family Guy were already removed from the streaming site last year, but now the entire catalogue is no longer available to watch on Netflix.
OKAY, SO FAMILY GUY IS NO LONGER ON NETFLIX. CAN I STREAM THE SERIES ON HULU?
This post isn’t all bad news! Family Guy fans will be happy to hear that 299 episodes of the series are now available to stream on Hulu! Also, if you have a cable log-in, Season 16 episodes are available to watch on the show’s official website.
