For the first time ever, Family Guy is set to release a Halloween special. This special will feature a fresh storyline and a guest appearance by Glen Powell, who has been enjoying a standout year. Known for his role in Hit Man, Powell joins the Family Guy cast for this spooky installment. The trailer, released on October 3, hints at a hilarious showdown during Quahog’s annual Pumpkin Contest, where Powell plays Patrick McCloskey, the reigning champion. The Griffin family is determined to do whatever it takes to defeat him and claim victory.
As always, the trailer is filled with the signature humour that makes Family Guy unique, cleverly incorporating the Halloween theme. The episode showcases an intense rivalry between Peter and Powell’s character, Patrick McCloskey, during the town’s annual Pumpkin Contest. However, it’s not just about pumpkins; Stewie’s cherished teddy bear, Rupert, voiced by Derek Jacobi, seems to come to life in this episode and might even embark on a rampage, adding a spooky twist to the Halloween festivities.
Additionally, there’s a nod to Frankenstein, with Stewie turning into a mad scientist, which might explain how Rupert comes to life. With multiple storylines packed into this special, it looks like a thrilling way to kick off the new season.

This Halloween special is part of Hulu’s exclusive holiday line-up, marking the start of Family Guy season 23. It also ties into the show’s 25th anniversary celebrations. The official synopsis for the episode, titled Peter Peter Pumpkin Cheater reads, “Peter and his friends aim to unseat the reigning champion (Glen Powell) in Quahog’s annual Pumpkin Contest by any means necessary."
Created by Seth MacFarlane for Fox, Family Guy has become one of the most iconic animated sitcoms since it first aired in 1999. Despite being on air for over two decades, the show’s mix of dysfunctional family antics and sharp social commentary keeps it relevant today.
The most recent season debuted in October 2023, and season 23 is set to follow shortly. Fans can catch the Family Guy Halloween Special on Hulu when it premieres on October 14, 2024.
