Family Guy has been a regular fixture at Comic-Con, and that hasn’t changed even with this year’s all-digital Comic-Con @ Home event. Fox will air a panel featuring many of the series’ stars and producers, including creator Seth MacFarlane and actors Alex Borstein, Seth Green, and Mila Kunis. The Family Guy panel will be featured on IGN’s Comic-Con @ Home live stream at 2pm PT on Saturday, July 25. Check out our full Comic-Con 2020 panel schedule .IGN can exclusively reveal that Family Guy Season 19 will debut on September 27, 2020. We also have a clip from the Comic-Con @ Home panel. Check it out in the insert below or in the video player above:
The clip features MacFarlane and Borstein reflecting on which episodes of the 18-season Family Guy series are their favorites. MacFarlane points out Agatha Christie’s Season 9 parody “And Then There Was Less” (which she placed at # 12 on our countdown of the Top 20 Family Guy episodes). Borstein, however, seems to favor specific moments and lines over entire episodes.
We’ll have to wait and see what other topics are covered during the panel, but we’ll certainly see clips from next season 19. Hopefully, the cast and crew will tackle the recent news that voice actor Mike Henry is stepping down from his role as Cleveland Brown. Henry tweeted, “It has been an honor to play Cleveland in Family Guy for 20 years. I love this character, but people of color should play characters of color. Therefore, I will give up the role.”
The Simpsons is making similar moves. Fox issued a statement stating, “Moving on, The Simpsons will no longer have white actors playing non-white characters.” We will be interested to see how MacFarlane and his collaborators feel about this great change in such a long-running series.
The Family Guy panel will air on Saturday, July 25 at 2pm PT.
