“American Dad!” is finally getting its own soundtrack. The show’s cast and producers revealed on Saturday at San Diego Comic-Con that an album featuring between 12 to 14 of the series’ most memorable songs (such as “Daddy’s Gone” and “When I Dress My Body”) will be released on streaming services including Spotify and Apple Music, timed to the premiere of the next season on TBS
Voice acting stars Wendy Schaal, Scott Grimes, Rachael MacFarlane, Dee Bradley Baker and Jeff Fischer joined executive producers Matt Weitzman, Kara Vallow and Nic Wegener to talk all things “American Dad!” in Ballroom 20 at the San Diego Convention Center.

Executive producer Matt Weitzman shared a list of guest stars coming to next season, including Charles Barkley, Michael Imperioli, Leslie Jones, Joel McHale, Bret The Hitman Hart, Gabriel “Fluffy” Iglesias, Neal McDonough and both Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick.
Weitzman additionally shared some upcoming plot points. In one episode, Roger and Stan (both voiced by Seth MacFarlane) get in a train accident, and in order to save their lives they have to join bodies. In another, Rogu (voiced byDee Bradley Baker) gets a deadly illness and whole family has to pretend they’re doctors to save him.
The panel also teased a Christmas episode, and another musical episode where Klaus raps.
The Comic-Con panel opened with a teaser for Season 21, which is still on deck at TBS (as that network’s last remaining scripted series). The panelists then read a few scenes — but in a twist, switched up and voiced each other’s roles.
“American Dad!” centers on super-patriotic CIA agent Stan Smith (voiced by MacFarlane) and the misadventures of his unconventional family in Langley Falls, VA. The family includes mom Francine (Wendy Schaal), daughter Hayley (Rachael MacFarlane), geeky-yet-confident son Steve (Scott Grimes), as well as Roger (MacFarlane), a sassy, sarcastic and routinely inappropriate space alien, and Klaus (Dee Bradley Baker), an attention-starved goldfish with the brain of a German Olympic skier.
