The Halloween special, titled 'A Little Fright Music,' is set to premiere Oct. 6. In the episode, Brian and Stewie realize there aren't many quality Halloween songs, so they set out to write a hit. Peter and the guys, meanwhile, discover that lying about trick or treating can have deadly consequences.
Details and a premiere date for the holiday special will be announced later. News of the two specials was announced Saturday during Family Guy's Comic-Con session.
Family Guy is heading into a massive four-season pickup at Fox, which will take the show through its 27th season in 2028-29.

All four shows are produced by 20th Television Animation.
MacFarlane executive produces Family Guy with showrunners Rich Appel and Alec Sulkin, Steve Callaghan, Tom Devanney, Danny Smith, Kara Vallow, Mark Hentemann, Patrick Meighan and Alex Carter.

This Is What Kyla Pratt's Daughter Looks Like Now, And It'll Make You Think You're Seeing Double
This is the phenomenal Kyla Pratt, and she's a mommy. No, she's a mom. She has a daughter, a human child, and she's seriously a spitting image of her parents. Related: Kyla and her longtime boyfriend, tattoo artist Danny Kirkpatrick, have been together since 2008, and share two daughters, Liyah, born in 2013, and Lyric, born in 2010. Before her adventures in motherhood, Kyla had the late '90s/early 2000s on lock, reprising her role in sequels to 1998's Dr. Doolittle, starring in One on One, and voicing Penny Proud in The Proud Family. ©Paramount Television/Courtesy Everett Collection, 20th Century Fox Film Corp. All rights reserved. / Courtesy Everett Collection Kyla's currently reprising her role as Penny in the revival series, The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder on Disney+. But, even with those most impressive acting credits, Kyla's most groundbreaking role is co-starring in her daughter Lyric's TikTok because why do they look so alike, and why do I feel ancient now? Related: Back in 2023, Kyla and Lyric made their TikTok debut together for the first time, and everyone was stunned by their identical appearance. Now, Lyric has posted new videos with her mom, and people are even more flabbergasted at how much they look like each other. In a TikTok shared on Aug. 1, Lyric and Kyla were joined by internet personality and actor Charles Brockman III to recreate an iconic moment from the very first episode of The Proud Family, "Bring It On." In the video, Lyric looks just like her mama, and she's mastered her mother's iconic sassy neck rolls and hilarious face expressions. @lyric_k_ / Via Related: People are rightfully losing it over the similarities. One person even joked that Lyric "literally looks like Penny" from The Proud Family. Related: Another said that she "could play penny proud in a live action" version of the animated series. And like most millennials who grew up with Kyla, this person said, "this just healed something in me," and I get it. Lyric really looks JUST LIKE her mother! Polygram Filmed Entertainment / courtesy Everett Collection, And, of course, she looks like her daddy, too! Look at those adorable smiles.
