Kieran Culkin's Devil Unleashed in Family Guy’s New Halloween Spectacle

**Family Guy Sets Halloween Special With Kieran Culkin as the Devil**
Family Guy has announced a new Halloween episode, “Family Guy: Happy Hell‑o‑ween,” slated to air on Hulu on October 5. The series will feature Kieran Culkin voicing the Devil, and a trailer released earlier this week offers viewers a glimpse of the underworld adventure.
The trailer shows Brian and Stewie’s unexpected demise after being hit by a car, followed by a rapid descent into Hell. They soon find themselves filling in for a fed‑up Satan. The animation includes flames, skeletons, demons, a mariachi band and various forms of torture—typical Family Guy flair.
The show’s main cast—Seth MacFarlane, Alex Borstein, Seth Green, Mila Kunis, Mike Henry, Patrick Warburton and Arif Zahir—returns. MacFarlane serves as creator and executive producer; Rich Appel and Alec Sulkin are executive producers and showrunners.
Other executive producers include Steve Callaghan, Danny Smith, Kara Vallow, Mark Hentemann, Patrick Meighan and Alex Carter.
## Background & Context
Family Guy has celebrated Halloween with special episodes since 2006. Each year the series crafts a new, often outrageous storyline tied to the holiday. The upcoming episode continues this tradition by sending the main characters into an alternate dimension—Hell—where they must confront their own misdeeds over 24 seasons.
The premise of paying for past behavior and inadvertently assuming power aligns with the show’s penchant for satire and dark humor.
The production crew has maintained a consistent lineup of executive producers. MacFarlane, the creator, remains at the helm, while Appel and Sulkin steer day‑to‑day operations as showrunners. Supporting executive producers such as Callaghan and Smith contribute to the series’ long‑running success.
## What Happens Next
In the new episode, Brian and Stewie’s accidental death leads them into a vivid depiction of Hell, complete with fiery landscapes and demonic characters. As they annoy the Devil, they end up taking charge of the underworld.
Peter is also featured, delivering a line that reads: “In real life, I’m choking on a Now and Later that I refuse to chew.” His cameo adds another layer of Family Guy irreverence.
The episode will stream exclusively on Hulu on October 5. Fans can watch the full special after viewing the teaser, which showcases the show’s trademark blend of absurdity and holiday spirit.
Viewers who enjoy the series’ history of Halloween specials will likely find this installment in line with expectations, featuring familiar characters and the show’s signature humor.
The episode’s release marks another milestone in Family Guy’s ongoing Halloween tradition, promising a fresh take on the classic theme of the devil and a chance for viewers to indulge in the show’s trademark satirical take on the supernatural.
