Hulu has now set a 2022 release date for Season 3 of the sci-fi series The Orville, as well as a new subtitle that reflects the show’s trajectory. The story follows the crew of the USS Orville, an exploratory vessel that travels across planets in the 25th century. Creator and star Seth MacFarlane previously announced that the third season had finished filming in August, which will premiere on March 10, 2022.
With this release date, The Orville will complete an almost three-year hiatus. Season 2 ended in 2019 and, ever since then, production was either slowed down or halted several times due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The ensemble cast includes MacFarlane, Adrianne Palicki, Penny Johnson Jerald, Scott Grimes, Peter Macon, J. Lee, Mark Jackson, Chad L. Coleman, Jessica Szohr, and Anne Winters.
