‘The Orville: New Horizons’ Gets “Sneak Peek” Clip & New US Premiere Date

by Dave Elliott

Hulu has released a little “sneak peek” at upcoming series The Orville: New Horizons, the newly named Seth MacFarlane sci-fi dramedy, which will return in 2022, albeit a little later than planned…

The epic space adventure series is set 400 years in the future and follows the crew of the U.S.S. Orville continuing their mission of exploration, as they navigate both the mysteries of the universe and the complexities of their own interpersonal relationships.

The ensemble series stars MacFarlane as the ship’s Commanding Officer and Adrianne Palicki (‘Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’, ‘Friday Night Lights’) as his ex-wife, who’s assigned as his First Officer. The series also stars Penny Johnson Jerald as Dr. Claire Finn (’24,’ ‘The Larry Sanders Show’), Scott Grimes as Gordon Malloy (‘ER,’ ‘Justified’), Peter Macon as Bortus (‘Shameless,’ ‘Bosch’), Jessica Szohr as Talla Keyali (‘Shameless’, ‘Kingdom’), J. Lee as John LaMarr (‘Family Guy’, ‘The Cleveland Show’), Mark Jackson as Isaac (‘That Royal Today’), and Chad L. Coleman as Klyden (‘The Walking Dead,’ ‘The Wire’).

‘The Orville’ has had a bit of a turbulent flight to its 3rd Season, but they do seem to have finally settled on a June 2022 premiere in the USA on Hulu. Firstly, there was the obvious issue of a global pandemic, which is hard to film in, especially when you’re a show dealing with a lot of prosthetics that require close contact. The second was the “more ambitious” nature of the third season, and MacFarlane’s workload, which prompted Disney to move the show from FOX onto Hulu. For UK viewers, the series will appear on Disney+, although we don’t know if there will be a delay between the UK and US broadcast.

‘The Orville: New Horizons’ is produced by 20th Television and Fuzzy Door. The series was created and written by Seth MacFarlane. MacFarlane, Brannon Braga, David A. Goodman, Jon Cassar, Jason Clark and Howard Griffith serve as executive producers.

The Orville: New Horizons‘ (Season 3) premieres Thursday, June 2, 2022 on Hulu in the USA, then some point after that on Disney+ in the UK. If you want to keep track of this or any other shows, you can add them via our Never Miss system, and you’ll be notified when they get a UK premiere date.
