Sunday television promises to entertain fans of animation, British dramas, reality shows and sports competitions. American Dad! is the flagship of the day as it marks its return to Fox's schedule with the premiere of the twentieth season, but it won't be the only event worthy of attention: season finales, award ceremonies and even the end of the Winter Olympic Games complete an agenda that stretches from dawn until dawn.

American Dad! leads Fox

's Sunday line-up

At 9pm (Eastern time in the United States), Fox opens up space for the Season Premiere of American Dad!, an animated sitcom created by the Smiths ‑ Stan, Francine, Steve, Hayley and the extraterrestrial Roger ‑ which begins its 20th season with a celebratory atmosphere: a barbecue by the pool that attracts relatives, old loves and even an unusual visitor in the water. The episode sets the tone for another cycle full of acidic humor and surreal situations.

Detailed synopsis of the premiere episode of the 20th season of American Dad!

In the inaugural storyline, the Smiths organize a family pool party. The guest list reveals two presences that promise conflict: Francine's sister and Steve's ex-girlfriend. Amid the fun, a bizarre fact is discovered when a dead rat appears in the water, offering the narrative turning point that usually marks the series. The combination of family reunion, romantic tensions and situation comedy brings together the signature elements that have kept American Dad! on the air for nearly two decades.

Other attractions on Fox: Family Guy and Universal Basic Guys accompany American Dad!

Before the premiere of American Dad!, Fox airs a new episode of Family Guy at 8pm. In the first story of the night, Meg and Lois plan an elaborate scheme to steal the formula for the traditional pumpkin spice latte. The Griffin family returns at 9:30 pm for a second chapter, in which Peter and his friends are stranded on Fire Island after a shipwreck. Between the two blocks, at 8:30 pm, Universal Basic Guys airs, a series that follows Mark and Tammy on a date at the Philadelphia Flower Show while Darren and JD prank David.

Finals that mark the grid: Vanished, All Creatures Great and Small and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms

Three productions reach their concluding episode this Sunday, each in a different genre:

Vanished (MGM+, 9 p.m., ET) ends its suspenseful plot with protagonist Alice on the run after escaping captivity. The final stretch brings her face to face with dangerous secrets and questionable loyalties, forcing her to carefully choose who to trust as she gets closer to the truth.

All Creatures Great and Small (PBS, 9 p.m., ET) concludes its sixth season with a series of challenges for veterinarian James Herriot. He must juggle organizing the village's nativity scene with a growing to-do list, while an old love returns to Darrowby and makes Tristan realize he's forgotten something important.

Closing finale night, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms (HBO, 10 p.m., ET) ends its first season shortly after the loss felt in Ashford. The Dunk knight reflects on his next steps and on Egg's remaining as his squire, decisions that will define the future direction of the narrative.

Ceremonies and awards dominate prime time

Two previously recorded broadcasts set the festive tone of the night. The Movies for Grownups Awards, at 7pm on PBS, promotes the reunion of Noah Wyle and George Clooney, former colleagues from ER, who exchange tributes by handing each other the Best Actor trophy. The presentation is under the command of Alan Cumming.

Shortly afterwards, at 8pm, the E! broadcasts the BAFTA Film Awards. The event features a musical show by the trio EJAE, Audrey Nuna and Rei Ami, as well as, once again, the conductor of Alan Cumming, who takes on a double role on the same Sunday.

Sports events and morning specials

Earlier, at 2:30 in the afternoon, NBC shows the Closing Ceremony of the Winter Olympic Games, with the participation of Italian dancer Roberto Bolle. The ceremony rewards the last athletes and extinguishes the Olympic flame; a primetime rerun airs at 9 p.m.
