Production

edit

American Dad!'s 11th season was the last to be produced for Fox prior its cancellation. In July 2013, TBS announced it had picked up the series for a 12th season.[2][3][4] TBS had aired reruns of American Dad! in syndication during its run on Fox.[5] Series co-creator and showrunner Mike Barker said about show's upcoming network relocation, "It's going to be the same American Dad!, just in a different place."[6] However, Barker departed the series over creative differences once early production for season 12 commenced in November 2013.[7]
