More McFarlane: Fox Orders More ‘American Dad’
October 30, 2009 by Derek
Seth MacFarlane is now one of the richest writers/producers in history, after reaching a $100M dollar deal with Fox a few months back to stay and produce shows for them through 2012, and that includes ‘American Dad‘, which was just renewed for a 6th season today.
The deal includes a sitcom to be produced by MacFarlane that is still in the planning stages, and Family Guy and The Cleveland Show to run through 2012 as well.
It appears this lineup will dominate Fox’s Sunday night programming for some time to come, and MacFarlane was quoted as saying after the $100M deal: “I get a lot of pleasure out of making shows. It’s a bonus to be getting paid well for it, and it’s a double bonus to be getting paid exorbitantly for it.” We couldn’t have said it better.
