AUS News: Stan Streaming Service Nabs “Family Guy”
To go along with acquiring the 22nd season of South Park, Australian streaming service Stan has acquired the entire Family Guy library for streaming audiences. That’s right, every episode of Family Guy will be made available on Stan starting December 1st in what is becoming just as crazy a streaming war in the land down under as it is everywhere else. Disney+ just launched with the entire run of The Simpsons, except for The Simpsons Movie which is staying on Foxtel, for now. It sounds like 20th Century FOX distribution is still going with the highest bidder for syndication rights, and why not?
Entering its 17th season, FAMILY GUY continues to entertain its die-hard fan base with razor-sharp humor, spot-on parodies, spectacular animation and orchestra-backed original music. Since its debut in 1999, the series has reached cult status among fans, and its breakout star, a talking baby, has become one of the greatest TV characters of all time. FAMILY GUY has racked up numerous awards, including an Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Comedy Series, only the second animated series in television history to be honored with such a distinction. Most recently, series creator and lead voice actor Seth MacFarlane (voices of “Peter Griffin,” “Stewie Griffin,” “Brian Griffin” and “Glen Quagmire”) won the 2019 Emmy Award for Outstanding Character Voice-Over Performance. Cast member Alex Borstein (voice of “Lois Griffin”) won the 2018 Emmy Award in the category. MacFarlane also was nominated that year. He won the 2017 and 2016 Emmy Award in the category, and was nominated from 2013 to 2015.
Guest voices this season include Bryan Cranston, Niecy Nash, Danny Trejo, Nat Faxon, Kenny Loggins and Judy Greer. The series continues to celebrate its landmark 20th anniversary year, which began in January 2019.
FAMILY GUY is a 20th Century Fox Television production. Seth MacFarlane is creator and executive producer. Rich Appel and Alec Sulkin serve as executive producers and showrunners, while Steve Callaghan, Tom Devanney, Danny Smith, Kara Vallow, Mark Hentemann and Patrick Meighan are executive producers.
