Ahead of "American Dad!’s' Season 12 premiere on Monday, Feb. 12, the veteran animated comedy has been renewed by TBS for two more seasons.

"American Dad!", which ran on Fox before moving to TBS in 2014, has been a strong ratings performer for the cable network, ranking as one of 2017’s top 10 cable comedies.

“Animation has played a huge role in making us the #1 comedy network,” said Brett Weitz, EVP of programming for TBS. “We will keep the momentum going with the two season pick up of American Dad! and finally introducing the world to the brilliantly constructed misadventures of Gary in Final Space.”

The renewal for Seasons 17 and 18 isn't surprising since American Dad! ranks as a Top 5 cable comedy. According to Nielsen, the current season reaches an audience of nearly 18 million across all TBS platforms. After these next two seasons, we will have over 300 episodes," said Matt Weitzman, who co-created American Dad! with Seth MacFarlane and Mike Barker. "Thus proving that whatever American Dad! lacks in quality, we make up for in quantity.”
