Family Guy Drops New Halloween Special Trailer, and It’s a Hulu Exclusive
Get ready to carve your pumpkins and stock up on candy, because Quahog is getting spooky! If you’re a fan of the Griffin family’s wild antics, we’ve got some great news. A brand-new Family Guy Halloween special is on its way, and a fresh trailer just dropped to give us a sneak peek. The best part? It’s coming exclusively to Hulu.
It’s always a treat when our favorite animated shows roll out a holiday episode, and this one looks like it won’t disappoint. So, let’s dive into everything we know about this upcoming Halloween adventure!
What’s This Spooky Special All About?
The new special is titled “A Little Fright Music,” and it seems to be packing two hilarious and chaotic storylines into one episode. Have you ever noticed how Halloween doesn’t have as many hit songs as Christmas? Well, so have Brian and Stewie.
Brian and Stewie’s Quest for a Halloween Hit
One half of the special follows our favorite devious duo, Brian and Stewie. They come to the brilliant realization that the world is seriously lacking in quality Halloween music. Think about it—besides “Monster Mash,” what’s really on your spooky season playlist?
Seizing the opportunity, the two set out to write the next big Halloween anthem. Knowing their track record, this musical journey is bound to be filled with clever jokes, questionable lyrics, and maybe even a full-blown musical number.
Peter’s Trick-or-Treating Trouble
Meanwhile, Peter and the guys are up to their usual shenanigans. Their part of the story revolves around trick-or-treating, but with a classic Peter Griffin twist. The official description says they discover that “lying about trick or treating can have deadly consequences.”
What does that even mean? Are they pretending to be kids to get more candy? Are they lying to their wives about where they’re going? Whatever it is, it sounds like their simple plan for a candy-filled night will spiral into complete chaos, and we can’t wait to see how it unfolds.
When and Where Can You Watch?
Mark your calendars! The Family Guy Halloween special, “A Little Fright Music,” premieres on Monday, October 6.
Remember, this isn’t airing on regular TV. This special, along with another upcoming holiday episode, is an exclusive treat for streaming fans. You’ll need to be subscribed to Hulu to catch all the fun.
A Friendly Jab at The Simpsons
The showrunners, Rich Appel and Alec Sulkin, shared a hilarious statement about why they decided to make the special. They joked that they realized “no animated show had ever done a Halloween special — besides The Simpsons Treehouse of Horrors I through XXXIV.” It’s a classic, good-natured poke at the longest-running animated Halloween tradition in television history.
They also pointed out that their quest to write a Halloween song has a much better chance of success than tackling a Christmas hit, given the “very limited competition.” It’s this kind of self-aware humor that makes Family Guy so much fun to watch.
As for the main series, you’ll have to wait a bit longer. Season 24 of Family Guy is scheduled to premiere in 2026 on FOX and will also be available to stream on Hulu.
So, are you excited to see the Griffins take on Halloween? What kind of spooky song do you think Brian and Stewie will come up with? Let us know what you think
