Fox International Channels UK has acquired the first-run rights to the third and fourth seasons of American Dad for FX.

From Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane, American Dad is an animated comedy telling the story of CIA operative Stan and his misfit family.

The third season will get its UK premiere on FX in January 2008. It joins the UK premieres of Unhitched, 10 Items or Less as well as seasons 4 and 5 of Family Guy as part of FX Comedy Thursdays. The fourth season is likely to premiere in spring 2009.
