Season 6 production delay
Posted by Andy on Thursday, October 26, 2006
Production on the sixth season of Family Guy due to start airing on Fox from the Fall 2007 has been delayed. Seth MacFarlane’s contract with Fox expires in the next few months and an agreement for a new contract is yet to be reached. Production for the new episodes should have begun by now, but the contract discussions are holding back production.
According to TV.com the “production office of the show remains empty however, with staff being told not to report to work until the contract is finalized.” Apparently Seth MacFarlane is holding out for a better deal as a result of Family Guy and American Dad’s recent ratings success helping Fox anchor its Sunday night animation block.
“Fox says negotiations are friendly and that the deal will be fixed up in the next few weeks.”
