"Also gonna play myself… kinda," he teases of May 4 episode of TBS animated series.
The Weeknd‘s next move after making history by topping five major Billboard charts in the same week? The R&B crooner will lend his talents to the TBS animated series American Dad on May 4.
The Canadian superstar (real name Abel Tesfaye) posed alongside American Dad and Robot Chicken writer Joel Hurwitz via Instagram on Thursday (April 2) for his special television announcement, plus a short quarantine PSA. “Me and this guy wrote an episode of American Dad. Also gonna play myself… kinda. MAY 4th ! (Photo was taken a while ago… STAY HOME),” the 30-year-old artist wrote.
The three-time Grammy-winning singer also plans to debut an original song on the episode, according to Deadline.
Season 16 of American Dad returns to TBS on April 13, with fellow guest stars Jane Lynch, Bill Nye, Criss Angel, Craig Robinson, Patton Oswalt and Ron Perlman.
Before his debut on the Seth MacFarlane production, The Weeknd simultaneously sits on the Billboard 200, Billboard Hot 100, Billboard Artist 100, Hot 100 Songwriters and Hot 100 Producers this week following the release of his latest album, After Hours — the first artist to achieve this feat.
