New Episodes Start Monday, February 11 at 10pm ET/PT on TBS

Seth MacFarlane’s Award-Winning Animated Satire has been a Consistent Top-Ten Cable Comedy Since its Debut on TBS

LOS ANGELES, December 17, 2018 – American Dad! returns to TBS on February 11th at 10pm ET/ PT.

American Dad! centers on super patriotic CIA agent Stan Smith (voiced by Seth MacFarlane) and the misadventures of his unconventional family in Langley Falls, VA. Stan applies the same drastic measures used in his job at the CIA to his home life, where Stan's blissfully unaware wife, Francine (Wendy Schaal), has an unfaltering loyalty that makes her blind to his unabashed arrogance. His left-wing activist daughter Hayley (Rachael MacFarlane), however, doesn’t let him off so easily – and knows just how to push her father's buttons. Hayley's brother is the geeky-yet-confident Steve (Scott Grimes), a kid who spends his time playing video games and obsessing about the opposite sex.

The Smith cabinet is rounded out by two rather unconventional members: Roger (MacFarlane), a sassy, sarcastic and routinely inappropriate space alien, and Klaus (Dee Bradley Baker), an attention-starved goldfish with the brain of a German Olympic skier.

Black Mirror - Season 5 - Miley Cyrus to Star in Episode of Netflix Anthology

The singer-actress said that she'd been away from home during the blaze, filming in South Africa, which led to a confirmation of recent reports that she will appear in the upcoming season of Netflix's dystopian future drama series Black Mirror.

Cyrus said she's been hunkering down working on her next album — due out next year — and because she always "hates everything" she does in retrospect, the return to acting on Black Mirror was a revelation. "I hate everything, but it was the first time I've left somewhere feeling really proud of my work," she said.

She couldn't say much, but promised that she plays a dynamic role that has a "lot of different sides" to the character.

Deadtown - Female Empowerment Superhero Drama in Development at Amazon

EXCLUSIVE: Amazon Studios has stepped up for Deadtown, an Entertainment One and Grey Matter Entertainment script that will be developed for a pilot by Shauna Cross. Deadtown is an adaptation of the Catherynne M. Valente novella The Refrigerator Monologues and the hourlong premise is a blueprint to create an original superhero universe set in the modern era with an underlying theme of female empowerment.

Five recently-dead women meet in Deadtown, a purgatory where they discover that their entire lives were merely in service to the superhero men they happened to cross paths with, resulting in each of their deaths. Or in comic book terms, they were “refrigerated”–frozen out of the story once they provided emotional backstory for the men. Until now. They start to discover their own powers, tell their sides of the narrative, and decide to write their own damn stories. And a group of seemingly ordinary women discover their own true power. It’s a subversive, kick-ass exploration of what it means for women to find their inner power – and use it.
