That’s what I said. Along with, no wonder it’s taken so long if they’re going for broke on the cgi stuff. 
 

(guessing a lot of the effect studios are/were swamped)

I wondered how they would fare under The Mouse.  Looks like it benefitted them.

And FX studios were and are swamped.

They can use that technology Disney used for Luke’s voice if they don’t kill off Yaphit this season 

Hey! I mean, what are we talking about here? Can't we discuss this? /Norm

As the series is preparing for the June 2 launch of Season 3 on Hulu, there are no current plans for a fourth season. I hear the cast of the series was released in August when their most recent options expired.

While there are no plans for Season 4 of 
The Orville, I hear Season 3 is not designed as a definitive ending to the series. The door has been left open for MacFarlane to revisit it with a new installment if/when he wants to do it in the future. In case he decides to do it, the cast will have to

Covid and the  move to Hulu really screwed them.  WAYYY to long between seasons.   Iirc, the 2nd season was almost a year and half after the first one, or something like it.

You're right, just read the fine print, June 8.

And this first episode is just over an hour.

Here's hoping it does well this season on Hulu, and Disney keeps it around.  I know it has a dedicated fan base.

I was hoping for a lighter first episode, but I guess they wanted to address the end of the last season.

Orville went dark and Star Trek went light-hearted.

Solid first episode of the season.

Also, the new ensign....

Seems like they are going dark and serious this season.  And I’m good with that. It’s solid and the episodes are long and damn near mini-movies.

Ep 2 could have had a better storyline (you knew who was going to die the instant you saw them) but overall a pretty great episode. My only bitch is the shuttle scenes. They just look SNL skit level quality because everyone is just standing there behind the seated pilots. At least on Star Trek everyone is strapped in.

Yeah, and the more they went into who he was (Doc's ex), the more I knew bad things were going to happen to him.  I figured he would sacrifice himself to save her boys.

Shuttle scenes were cheesy.

It was a good episode, but I saw a tweet from Seth MacFarlane that ruined it for me. He said it would be very trippy or something like that. I was expecting an X-Files Jose Chung level of weirdness. With that framing, it fell quite short.

All 3 seasons moving to Disney+ after the season ends, TBD on season 4. Up to Disney, per MacFarlane

Yeah saw that, I’m guessing there will be a season 4, as there’s been several people associated with production stating that more was planned (of course one or two actors said there want another season planned).

It’s  cheaper than the Star Wars shows, and maybe cheaper than Marvel shows, so maybe an exclusive Season 4 on D+ would pad things out for them.

Putting it on D+ Is an an easy/free way to get some more eyeballs on it in anticipation of another season, and they didn’t do a massive upgrade of the S3 budget on a whim.  Putting it on D+ without there being a season 4 would be odd, as it’s not going to get more D+ subscribers (and in fact could cost them some Hulu subs).
