Family Guy returns to its chaotic roots, with Peter acting even more irrational and immature. Satirical takes on political correctness and internet trends dominate the season. Brian becomes more self-aware of his own hypocrisy, especially in dating and moral debates. Stewie shows signs of genuine emotional struggle, including his fear of growing up. Chris and Meg are still sidelined but occasionally receive humorous subplots. Parody episodes return, including spoofs of Stranger Things and other modern shows. The season doesn’t shy away from dark or uncomfortable themes. Despite criticism for recycling jokes, fan engagement remains high.
