The eleventh season of the American TV series American Dad! originally aired on Fox from September 14, 2014, to October 20, 2014, and consisted of three episodes, making it the shortest season to date. The first two episodes aired on September 14, 2014, and the third episode on September 21, 2014. This was the last season to air on Fox; one month later, TBS premiered the twelfth season on October 20, 2014.
Guest voice actors for the show's 11th season include Jane Krakowski, Paul Reubens, and Kim Kardashian.
Production
On July 16, 2013, it was announced that American Dad! had been cancelled by Fox. Soon after, cable network TBS would announce that it had picked up the show for a 15-episode 11th season, slated to premiere on October 20, 2014.
The tenth season was initially the final one on Fox; however, on July 20, 2014, it was announced that Fox had three unaired episodes left for broadcast. Reports from Fox seemed to imply that these three episodes constituted a season of their own. Among multiple discrepant reports from TBS, one indicated that the three episodes were the beginning of the 11th season to resume on their network. On DVD and Hulu, these episodes appear as the first three episodes of season 12.
