One Direction certainly doesn’t need extra promotion, but a little appearance on Family Guy won’t do them any harm. Two members of the group recorded dialogue for a scene in an upcoming episode of Seth MacFarlane’s long-running animated sitcom.
Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson will appear in a campfire scene with Stewie, reports Entertainment Weekly. Unfortunately, only Payne and Tomlinson recorded their lines.
Simon Cowell will also be in the scene, but it’s not clear if he recorded his dialogue or if someone else had to do that.
“There are not a lot of shows that, in the same season, feature guest-star appearances by both Frank Sinatra, Jr. and One Direction,” Family Guy executive producers Richard Appel and Steve Callaghan told EW. “And we really enjoyed their time with us, until we realized we were both old enough to be their fathers.”
One Direction’s episode will air in May.
Family Guy airs on Fox Sundays and is currently on its 14th season.
One Direction is about to go on a hiatus and recently performed during Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve. They did release Made in the A.M., which debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 chart.
