Meanwhile, the sci-fi comedy, inspired by Star Trek, is in a new home and features some new guest stars. Read on to find out more about season 3 of the Seth MacFarlane sci-fi comedy/drama series.
The Orville: New Horizons comes to Hulu for season 3
Seth MacFarlane’s The Orville debuted on Fox in 2017 and went on to enjoy two seasons. However, after not being back since April 2019, the sci-fi comedy/drama is finally coming back in a new home. In fact, it will return on Hulu with a brand new title, The Orville: New Horizons. Despite the change, as MacFarlane is involved, the show is likely to deliver what fans have come to expect.
As noted by Collider, The Orville: New Horizons is set to make its debut on Hulu in the US on June 2. It is planned to release episodes on a weekly basis on the streamer. Moreover, those in the UK, Ireland and Canada will also be able to watch the debut on Disney Plus, with the same weekly schedule.
Of interest to note, while MacFarlane is known for his comedy work with Family Guy, the trailer for The Orville: New Horizons reveals another side to the creator. While there will be comedic moments, the new version of the series will also reveal some drama from MacFarlane’s character.
Recently, MacFarlane posted a video on Twitter, revealing the orchestra working on the new score:
New missions need new music. Watch composer @joelsephmc and our incredible musicians create the score for episode 308. #TheOrville New Horizons arrives June 2 on @hulu.
