- Culkin’s casting was announced Saturday during the “Family Guy” panel at San Diego Comic-Con, where it was announced that the show has both a new Halloween and a holiday-time special set to premiere later this fall on both Hulu and (in most international markets) Disney+.
- Peter loses, and he can either process his disappointment in a mature manner, or give fans a memorable episode of ‘Family Guy.’ Thankfully, he chooses option number two.” The news of the Halloween and holiday specials came from executive producer and showrunner Rich Appel, who also shared the first look at Culkin’s role as the devil.
- Also on stage were “Family Guy” stars Alex Borstein (Lois), Arif Zahir (Cleveland), Jennifer Tilly (Bonnie) and co-executive producer/supervising director Peter Shin.
