Family Guy has dropped a Halloween Special episode to make the festival spookier. Titled Peter, Peter, Pumpkin Cheater, the episode has kicked off the highly awaited season 23 of the long-running animated sitcom.
The Family Guy Halloween Special follows Peter and his friends, who want to dethrone the reigning champion of the annual Pumpkin Contest in Quahog and are willing to go to any extent to win the competition.

Twisters star Glen Powell appears in the episode as the voice of Patrick McCloskey, the reigning champion of the contest. Here is how to watch the Halloween Special episode.
How to watch the Family Guy Halloween Special?
The Family Guy Halloween Special is available to stream on Hulu. The episode was released on the platform on October 14. The Halloween Special will not be aired on Fox, unlike the conventional episodes of the show which are broadcast on the network. The feature is a Hulu exclusive and is a part of the show's 25th anniversary celebrations.
To watch the Halloween Special, you need to be an active subscriber of Hulu. The streaming platform offers an ad-supported basic plan at $7.99 per month. If you do not want to be disturbed by ads, you can choose the Premium ad-free plan, which costs $17.99 per month. Hulu also offers a 30-day free trial to its new customers.
What is The Family Guy Halloween Special about?
The official synopsis for the Halloween Special by Hulu reads:
"Peter and his friends aim to unseat the reigning champion (guest star Glen Powell) in Quahog’s annual Pumpkin Contest by any means necessary."
Apart from Powell, British actor Derek Jacobi also guest stars in the episode as the voice of Stewie’s teddy bear, Rupert. The trailer for the episode was released earlier this month, which showcases the Griffins getting ready for the celebration, while Stewie’s teddy bear plans to go on a killing spree.
Meanwhile, Patrick McCloskey arrives in the town and throws shade at Peter and his friends for always losing in the Pumpkin Contest. Check out the trailer here:
How does the Halloween Special link to season 23?
The Halloween Special is labeled as the first episode of season 23, which is slated to premiere on Fox in 2025. As audiences wait for the upcoming season, Hulu has planned the release of two Holiday specials. The first is the Halloween episode, which dropped on October 14, and the second is the Christmas Special, which will be released in December this year.
The logline for Family Guy Season 23 states,
“Peter accidentally exposes his inability to throw a ball, Meg starts dating the giant chicken’s son and Chris loses his earring in a Lord of the Rings-inspired escapade. Additionally, Stewie finds out his stuffed bear Rupert was made in China and makes it his mission to take him back there to meet his family.”
Family Guy is known for parodying famous television shows, and its 23rd installment will be no different. This time, the makers have decided to spoof HBO’s hit comedy-drama The White Lotus, as the Griffin family will vacation at a luxury resort. However, the trip will turn into a nightmare for Stewie as he begins to suspect that his friends want to sacrifice him in a volcano.
Created by Seth MacFarlane, the show has been going on since 1999, and is one of the most-watched animated shows on television. The series stars MacFarlane as Peter, Stewie, and Brian Griffin; Alex Borstein as Lois Griffin; Mila Kunis as Meg Griffin; Seth Green as Chris Griffin; Patrick Warburton as Joe Swanson; and Arif Zahir and Cleveland Brown.
