Kristen Bell is sneaking out of "The Good Place" to visit the land of animation again. This time, the Frozen alum will lend her voice to "Family Guy", playing a possible love interest for Brian, EW has learned exclusively.
In an episode of the animated Fox comedy slated to air in November, the Griffin canine meets her character, Martha, when he gets a job at a suicide prevention hotline.
“Brian falls for his officemate, Martha — a young woman trying to make her way in the big city,” says "Family Guy" executive producer Rich Appel. “She comes complete with her own theme song, which, like all great sitcom theme songs, literally tells you everything you need to know about her.”
He adds: “Kristen Bell’s voice alone could sell anything.”
Another famous name coming to Quahog is Louis C.K., who plays himself in the season 15 premiere. The episode, which pokes fun at the Emmys, imagining the Griffins’ versions of such trophy-magnet shows as "Modern Family" and "Breaking Bad".
“Peter, now desperate for an Emmy, fortuitously runs into Louis C.K. on the street and tries to get the secret to winning the award from him,” says executive producer Alec Sulkin.
Sulkin reports that C.K., a "Family Guy" fan, hung out in one of the show’s writers room when he came in to record his line, and “acted like we were doing him a favor by giving him the part.”
