Not much is known about the episode that Abel Tesfaye will be starring in. While we know that a new song will be premiering on the show, it's possible that the track is a parody of one of his existing songs. We wouldn't be surprised if that's the case, considering the original songs that usually play as part of the series.
The upcoming season of American Dad begins on April 13, starring the likes of Bill Nye, Jane Lynch, Criss Angel, and many others. Will you be tuning in?
