The Orville (Page 8 of 8)

Ignore season 3, and this was a good show that ended before its time.

Season 3 was a train wreck and took likable characters and turned them into narcissistic, meddling monsters. Goodbye to trash.

Seth McFarland has had some Joss Whedon sized scandals involving women he's worked with over the years.

Anyone have more info on this ?...can't find anything confirming the cancellation.

well not sorry as it had gone astray

Saw the notification that the show is now cancelled?

As of December 20, 2025, The Orville has not been officially cancelled, but its future remains uncertain. Creator Seth MacFarlane has consistently stated that the show is not dead, emphasizing there is no official "death certificate" for the series.
Despite this, Hulu has not renewed the show for a fourth season, leaving it in a state of limbo.
While MacFarlane has confirmed that work on a potential Season 4 is ongoing
, and cast members like Scott Grimes have expressed continued optimism
, other key cast members, including Adriannne Palicki, have indicated they are no longer involved.
The show’s return would likely require significant logistical and creative rebuilding, given the long hiatus and the demanding production schedule.

The Orville concluded its third season, titled The Orville: New Horizons, in August 2022, after moving from Fox to Hulu.
Hulu has neither confirmed nor denied a renewal, and no official timeline has been provided for a potential fourth season.
Seth MacFarlane has maintained that the series is still active in development, stating, "We’re working on it"
, and has reiterated that no network has declared the show dead.
Despite rumors and conflicting statements from cast members, the show has not been formally cancelled, and its prolonged absence from official announcements suggests a lack of immediate production plans.
Production Weekly listings from late 2024 hinted at potential activity, but no confirmation of filming has been made.

as long as there isn't an official cancellation "On Hiatus" should be the official status.

“I will be honest with you: Season four is written,” MacFarlane says of The Orville. “It’s just a question of when we have the time to produce it.”

The prolific producer confirmed that Hulu would be ready to move forward on the new season, but his own packed schedule has made it challenging to find time for him to shoot. “The 10 scripts are done,” MacFarlane continues. “I’m the problem. It’s [a matter of] when I can make that my year, with all the other stuff we have in the works. But we can hit the ground running when it happens.”
