Seth MacFarlane, series creator and star of sci-fi dramedy “The Orville,” has announced the show’s return for March 10th 2022.
In a tweet posted this morning, MacFarlane unleased an early special made trailer for the new run with the promise of “New home. New missions. New Horizons.”
The new home refers to the show moving from FOX to Hulu for the new season run which began filming in October 2019 but, due to multiple stops and starts due to the pandemic, didn’t actually finish filming until last month.
Instead of thirteen episodes of around 40-43 minutes each, the new season will clock in at eleven episodes of around 52-58 minutes each. Comedian Norm Macdonald completed his voiceover work as the gelatinous Lt. Yaphit before his passing earlier this month.
