The Orville Season 3 gets an update.

It’s been a long while since we’ve been on board the Orville. Its Season 2 finale aired on April 25, 2019, which makes it nearly a year and a half since then. In that time, the show was moved over from Fox to Hulu, but not much else has been heard since then. It almost feels like things have gone radio silent. And with the pandemic, I couldn’t help but wonder if we’d have to wait years to return to the adventures on the Orville. Luckily, Seth MacFarlane has recently given an update.

“All I can say is we are working on it,” MacFarlane revealed during an Instagram conversation. “We’re working on it very hard, we got hit by this just like everyone else but we’re working on it.” As mentioned above, the pandemic hit, and The Orville was one of the countless shows that were halted in the United States.

Sadly, there were no details about what Season 3 will entail, but MacFarlane clearly has a great love for The Orville. He also spoke about the strengths about the television medium.

“It’s one of the things I love most about the show. I’m a big fan of ensemble pieces, particularly with television,” he said. “What I love about the show, about the characters, is that I could pick one of the characters and write a story about them that week. It’s wide open and I think it allows for a lot of longevity.”

Great catching up earlier this month with my friend and creator of @theorville, @macfarlaneseth.

While we don’t really know when the new season is set to hit now, I know I’ll be there for it. Like many, I was impressed with how well the show was written and how seriously it took its own mythology. It was woefully mis-advertised and actually acts as more of a Star Trek series than many current ones.
