The long in the works third season of Seth MacFarlane’s sci-fi series “The Orville,” which is transitioning from FOX to a Hulu original, is finally heading towards a potential future release.
As part of Hulu’s TCA presentation today, the streamer’s head of scripted originals Jordan Helman says he has seen cuts of the sci-fi drama’s third season and hopes it will be out sooner rather than later.
The delays on the new season have been “complicated on a variety of levels as it pertains to production.” He says he can’t share a launch date, but “we’re really excited about what we’ve seen thus far.”
Helman also teased the possibility of another season being produced:
“[The] future of the show remains an open conversation and there have been no conversations otherwise. I believe the fans of the show that are coming to us from Fox will be deeply excited and satiated. I also think for new fans that maybe didn’t experience it, it will feel new to them.”
“The Orville” is produced by 20th Century Fox Television and Fuzzy Door Productions. The second season wrapped its run in April 2019.
