The episode features Lois (Alex Borstein), a worker at Big Pie, who travels to a small town with the goal of hijacking Peter’s (Seth MacFarlane) secret, beloved pie recipe. Wilson will open the episode as a country singer performing an original song.
The special will premiere Friday, Nov. 28, on Hulu, and on Hulu on Disney+. The cast also includes Seth Green, Mila Kunis and Arif Zahir.
“Like so many of the great guest appearances on Family Guy, Lainey’s is due to our casting director Christine Terry who thought she’d be perfect. If the part had called for, say, an ABBA tribute band, we might have been a little more helpful,” Family Guy showrunners Rich Appel and Alec Sulkin said in a statement.

Lainey Wilson is set to solo host the CMA Awards, which will air live from Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena on ABC on Wednesday, Nov. 19. She is also nominated in six categories, including entertainer of the year, album of the year (Whirlwind), female vocalist of the year and single and song of the year (both for “4x4xU”). Wilson won the entertainer of the year honor in 2023, and cohosted last year’s CMA Awards alongside Luke Bryan and Peyton Manning. Her album Whirlwind includes the singles “Hang Tight Honey,” “4x4xU” and “Somewhere Over Laredo.”
Her role on Family Guy isn’t her first television role. Wilson previously had a recurring part on the hit series Yellowstone, portraying an aspiring country singer named Abby. She is also set to make her film debut next year, with a role in the upcoming movie Reminders of Him.
